Object to SP6(g): Plan should commit to review and creation of new rights of way

Full text:

SP6 point g and paragraph 4.72 should be strengthened - with the loss of so much Green Belt and with detrimental effects on access to the countryside having been highlighted by the Sustainability Assessment, then point g should commit to the review and creation of new rights of way (footpaths and bridleways) to encourage greater access to and participation with the countryside. This will have a positive effect on health and well-being and will also be a demonstrable benefit from development in the plan - i.e. it will help make the plan more sustainable, in the short and the long term.
