Representation Summary:

There is a bridleway running close to this development site. Currently this provides welcome respite from the traffic to horse riders using the rights of way network. Development needs to preserve the off road nature of these routes and to ensure the nature of the route remains and horse riders are accommodated in the area on other routes for walking and cycling.

Change suggested by respondent:

Equestrians need to be provided with safe off road routes to ensure that the bridleways can continue to be used. Links to these bridleways should be encouraged and incorporated into any development plans for horses to continue to move safely around the locality.
