RTC2 ACCESS TO THE THAMES RIVERSIDE AND FORESHORE

The council will seek accessible and inclusive public access to the riverside, including through-site links when riparian development takes place and the provision and enhancement of the Thames Path National Trail (the riverside walk). It will also seek the retention and enhancement of access to and from the foreshore in development schemes where it is appropriate and safe to do so, and will promote enjoyment of riverside heritage assets and open spaces.

The riverside walk should generally be at least 6 metres wide and should be accessible to cyclists if this can be achieved without risk to the safety of pedestrians or river users.

All proposals will need to ensure that flood defences are not adversely affected.
