Developing a vision for Colchester

No answer given

It is inevitable that there will be a significant expansion of development in and around Colchester in the next decade and beyond, particularly residential builds. Whilst this brings opportunity, it will be important to ensure that it does not come at the detriment of existing green spaces. There will be opportunity to create new green spaces and to ensure that these spaces are accessible to multi-users, ie pedestrians, cyclists AND horse riders. There should be a requirement that an element of the related Section 106 monies be ring-fenced to protect and enhance the PROW network. This network provides an important link to the wider network in the countryside surrounding Colchester and the proposed development will result in additional funding that could be used constructively to enhance the existing PROW network. Roads are becoming busier, therefore providing new off road riding opportunities for equestrians is extremely important.
