Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22914

Received: 09/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Jonathan Vine-Hall

Representation Summary:

Policy option A is preferred. The suggested preferred policy option B is highly prescriptive and attempts to stifle a very important rural industry. The bridleway system in Rother is poor and horse riders have equal rights to all other modes of transport over the highway system. The proposed policy attempts to limit riding activity to areas with good bridleways which simply don't exist in Rather. The BHS's advice should be sought on this policy.
