RA25 Public Rights of Way

The Council will work with other organisations to promote the maintenance and improvement of the public rights of way network in the district. Planning permission will not be granted for development in the countryside which adversely affects the convenience, safety, setting and amenity of an existing definitive public right of way. The diversion of a public right of way will only be supported where the new route is as least as attractive, safe and convenient for public use. The implementation of these requirements will be achieved through the use of planning conditions or Section 106 agreements.
