Draft Bourn Airfield Supplementary Planning Document - June 2019
Respondent: Shelford and District Bridleways Group
Representation Summary:
2.4 ACCESS, MOVEMENT & CONNECTIVITY
Horse riding should be included in the heading 'Active Travel (Cycling and Waling).
Connecting the existing Cambourne bridleway network with Byway 124/7 Knapwell, Bridleway 27/12 Boxworth and beyond should be a potential project for Section 106/ CIL funding.
The bridleways marked in Figure 8 Access, Movement & Connectivity should be clearly marked as being for pedestrians, cyclists AND horse riders.

connect and form their own community.

5. Creating the Place - Section 1: A Well Connected Place
Respondent: Shelford and District Bridleways Group
Representation Summary:
FIX B STRATEGIC WALKING AND CYCLING CONNECTIONS
No NMU routes are being considered for the woodland.
Walking and pedestrian access is implied in the wording - any links to the bridleway network need to be NMU. Enhancement needs to be defined - tarmac surfaces on bridleways are not enhancements.
Figure 28 does not include the routes discussed at the meeting with the BHS.

4B Access to natural environments
We support the references to bridleway creation in woodland settings set out in this
section although it appears to conflict with comments referred to in other sections.
Fix G Recreational walking, cycling and horse riding routes
We appreciate the creation and inclusion of equestrian routes in this section but do no understand the need for separate walking and cycling routes where there is a bridleway which is available to all users?
Fig. 47 | Recreational walking, cycling and horse riding
We support this proposed scheme although as previously stated, we would like to see the inclusion of a circular Restrict Byway open to carriage drivers. Whilst we appreciate that this might be of concern, it would be a bold and progressive step in much the same way that the hugely popular Cambourne peripheral bridleway was when it was first constructed.
6 Cohesive, well‐planned and well‐governed
Somewhere in the SPD there should be defined the responsibility and accountability for the maintenance of PROW's and a requirement for them to be maintained to be accessible all
year around.
5. Infrastructure Delivery Plan
Non Motorised User Infrastructure Fig 55
1 Improved walking and cycling network

2 Cycleway Improvement
What provision is being made for equestrians on this route?
3 Rights of Way Network
Does not include access for carriage drivers.
6.5 DEVELOPMENT PHASING AND INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY
No reference to the delivery of rights of way network other than cycle and pedestrian routes.
