Waterbeach New Town Supplementary Planning Document

Representation ID: 167292

Received: 11/10/2018

Respondent: Waterbeach and District Bridleways Group

Representation Summary:

5.2 MOVEMENT AND PLACE
Objection to lack of reference to bridleways / horse access.

Liaising with GCP on the greenways project, about protecting and extending equine access routes across the Waterbeach area and beyond.

SPD executive summary mentions 7.1 'Provision of development that prioritises cycling and pedestrians. Page 16, and 70-78 of the Draft SPD show non-motorised access routes including a circular route around the proposed new town, restoration of the ancient Roman Causeway, through green spaces and woodland areas, and along a series of networks within the proposed new town and beyond toward other areas and across the railway line and River Cam. However, nowhere in the SPD is equestrian access specified, yet walking and cycling access is clearly defined. This omission is neglectful and discriminatory.
