Waterbeach New Town Supplementary Planning Document

5.2 MOVEMENT AND PLACE
Objection to lack of reference to bridleways / horse access.
I can see no provision for equestrian access to routes in the area, and it appears that one of the existing routes used by horseriders in the area (Bannold Way) will become heavily used by motorised traffic under the proposals, rendering it unsafe for equestrian use. Cyclists and pedestrians are accounted for, horse-riders (who are equally vulnerable on the roads) are not. This is a significant oversight and discriminates against the very large number of horse-riders in Waterbeach and connecting villages.
