The Council agrees with the policy’s intention to enhance access to, from and along river corridors for walking and cycling, whilst balancing this with the need to protect and enhance habitats for biodiversity. It is suggested that the policy approach is extended to include the River Great Ouse to ensure appropriate support is given for projects to renaturalise sections of this river, protect floodplains and ensure that any nearby development protects and enhances the character of the river corridor. Furthermore, if linkages are made which will increase recreational pressure on nearby recreational and tourism locations e.g. Fen Drayton Lakes, Houghton Mill, the Ouse Fen Nature Reserve, it may be wise to ask for impact assessments to address any adverse effects in relation to increased recreational pressure.
