Access to the countryside for all users should be included in this section. It is not included in any of the other Strategic Objectives.

Under the 'Well Connected Places' heading, horse riding should be included in the new networks.

Under the bullet point page 35 'Contributions to the enhancement of the surrounding cycle network, including potential new routes that link eastward to Cambridge along the A428 corridor' - these should be non motorised user routes.

Under the bullet point on page 39 'Connections to Highfields Caldecote, including footpaths through the woodland on this edge of the site, providing access to Furlong Way and Grafton Drive. Routes through woodland areas should be sensitively designed and lit.' - NMU routes should be considered for the woodland?

Under the bullet point on page 39: 'Connections to the existing bridleway running along the southern edge of the site, with enhancement to existing paths that link the site with Bourn and Highfields Caldecote' - Currently the wording with the title as is, only gives walking and pedestrian access to the existing bridleway network and the word 'path' in this context currently relates only to shared pedestrian and cycle access. Any links to the bridleway network need to be NMU. 'Enhancement' also needs to be defined - putting a tarmac surface on a bridleway is not an enhancement.
