Active travel is referred to in terms of walkers and cyclists and is therefore not ‘inclusive’ as it purports to be. New developments and infrastructure design should provide opportunities to improve and extend the bridleway and byway network for the shared enjoyment of all vulnerable road users. ‘Planning policies and decisions should protect and enhance public rights of way and access, including taking opportunities to provide better facilities for users’ (NPPF, s100).
