Representation Summary:

Broadly accept.
Protection of existing public rights of way to ensure that all users are included. Bridleways and byways are part of the PRoW network benefitting pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders/drivers. The network is fragmented therefore opportunities to extend the network for all user groups should be planned for in the design of developments. Surfaces that are safe for all users and environmentally sound should also be included in the development plans.
