97 Existing Footpaths, Bridleways and Cycleways

The District Council will resist applications for development which would result in the loss of definitive rights of way, the non-definitive stretches of the Lee Valley Walk, or the Nicky Line or Alban Way footpath/cycleways. A diversion of the western end of the Alban Way may be necessary.

Elsewhere, permanent diversions will be acceptable only if they compare favourably with the original route in terms of distance, gradients, ground conditions and amenity. The Council will resist any development which could endanger users of footpaths, bridleways or cycleways.
