EE11: The River and Waterway Network
Proposals for development adjacent to the river and waterway network will be permitted where they:
- Seek to protect, conserve and enhance the waterways’ heritage, built environment, landscape character and biodiversity, including the protection of flood areas, where appropriate;
- Promote the waterway and towpath/riverside paths as part of the green infrastructure and open space network and encourage their use as a tourism destination and for leisure, recreation and healthy outdoor activity; and
- Promote the use of the waterway and towpath/riverside paths for sustainable transport and recreational routes for walking, cycling, and horse riding, and where appropriate, provide and protect new tow and riverside paths.
