The inclusion of equestrians within all walking/cycling/leisure parts of the plan will help with the Plan’s twin overall priorities, provide better value for money for the tax payer AND benefit the local economy.
Please see attached document for full representation.
As previously requested above, we urge the Council to read the information contained within Appendix 1 below which explains why the inclusion of equestrians is beneficial to everyone.
As always we would welcome the opportunity to work with the Council and, indeed, future developers to ensure the inclusion of equestrians in their plans.

Road side development, such as that proposed above, should ensure the inclusion of “behind the hedge” paths to enable connectivity to surrounding public rights of way and quieter lanes. Many quiet lanes and PROW are disconnected by roads such as the A21 and reconnecting them would encourage more, safe walking, cycling, horse riding and even carriage driving.

Any further improvements for walking and cycling in this area must include equestrians too. The reasons for inclusion are set out in appendix 1 below.
Rural communities include equestrians. Additional pressures on riding schools and livery yards mean that they need to be included alongside the support for “smaller rural based businesses”.

Equestrianism is the second largest rural employer and so must be supported alongside other rural businesses.

Equestrianism is the second largest rural employer and so must be supported alongside other rural businesses. Equestrian tourism also flourishes where good off road riding is available and (for day trips) good safe horsebox parking. Equestrian recreational and leisure facilities must therefore also be included.
See comments above
Further 6.97 merely scatches the surface of the use of the countryside - forestry, horticulture and equestrianism feature strongly across Rother DC’s landscape and are equally worthy of protection and promotion.
