Received: 22/03/2016

Respondent: Essex Bridleways Association

Representation Summary:

Policy 10.7 - Infrastructure and Community Facilities

We note in paragraph 10.40 that the various types of green infrastructure are specified and the list includes footpaths only; no mention of any other type of right of way is made. We request that this is amended to include all designations of public rights of way. We note that in paragraph 10.43 that 'appropriate access to, and linkages between, these assets need to be maximised'. This we agree with but we would like to see the inclusion of bridleway access made within this Policy.
