  • A minimum width of 3.5 m clear and unobstructed footway will usually be required in Town Centres.
  • A minimum width of 1.8 m clear and unobstructed footway will usually be required outside Town Centres.
  • In both above locations where there is a high level of footfall, even over short bursts, a greater width of clear and unobstructed footway than specified may be required.
