DM 14 Public Rights of Way

Planning permission will only be granted for minerals and waste development that adversely affect a Public Right of Way, if:

  1. satisfactory prior provisions for its diversion are made which are both convenient and safe for users of the Public Rights of Way
  2. provision is created for an acceptable alternative route both during operations and following restoration of the site
  3. opportunities are taken wherever possible to secure appropriate, improved access into the countryside
