Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2004

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The proposal would require local authorities to identify and list public rights of way when preparing their development plans, rather than treating this as optional. It would particularly protect routes to the seashore, mountains, lakeshores, riverbanks and other places valued for their natural beauty or recreation, helping keep these public paths officially recognised and available.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the Planning and Development Act 2000 to make provision for a mandatory requirement to preserve and list public rights of way, including, in particular, rights of way which give access to the seashore, mountain, lakeshore, riverbank or other place of natural beauty or recreational utility
