Ickleford Neighbourhood Plan 2022 - 2035 Submission Version March 2023

1. Introduction

Representation ID: 10327

Received: 27/06/2023

Respondent: Hertfordshire County Council - Environment & Infrastructure Department

Representation Summary:

On behalf of Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) thank you for consulting with us on the Ickleford neighbourhood Plan submission version.

HCC welcomes the inclusion of our prior comments made on the Ickleford Neighbourhood Plan in November 2022. It is however noted that one of the comments has not been translated into the submission version wholly accurately causing a slightly confusing read.

11.4’s first few lines currently reads;
There are numerous footpath and bridleways in the Parish. Public Footpaths and Bridleways are in the majority although there are several Byways Open to All Traffic. Public Rights of Way are highways that are purposed for active travel modes (Footpaths – on foot: Bridleways/Byways – on foot, horse and cycle). They provide for short journeys within the parish and also between the surrounding villages and towns. They also provide an excellent recreational facility.

Please could this be amended to;

This is simply to ensure the wording reads as intended and is not confusing when read. This change is in line with our November 2022 comments.
