1. What do you think is important to include in a design policy? (limit to 250 words)

A design policy should consider the impact of development upon the existing PRoW network. It should consider how development will impact the safety of users, and additionally should consider the impact upon the enjoyment of users. In far too many occasions, existing PRoWs are losing their rural aspect and are becoming corridors between newly developed housing estates. This has a detrimental impact upon the enjoyment of users, and in the case of horse riders using bridleways, can cause safety concerns given increased noise and other hazards as a result of the increased density of buildings and population. Additionally design policies should be far more creative in the creation and use of green buffer zones. These represent an opportunity to create new bridleways linking into existing bridleways and allows riders safe passage to the surrounding countryside. Design policies should incorporate ring-fenced Section 106 monies for such enhancements.
