The area of the highway upon which the property has been constructed is unnecessary and of no public benefit. Given the highly unusual circumstances of this particular case, it is proposed that the highway forming the footprint of the house and garden be stopped up and the highway status therefore removed. This will regularise the position and enable the owner to properly market the property.
