Received: 10/02/2020

Respondent: Canal & River Trust

Representation Summary:

The Trust supports the overall approach set out in the policy and the criteria identified within it. These criteria recognise the multi-functional nature of the canal and towpath and the range of roles it can play in contributing towards regeneration initiatives, leisure, recreation and tourism, heritage, biodiversity and health and well-being. We therefore welcome the clear and explicit support set out within Policy RLS16 for requiring new development to have full regard to the canal and the roles it can play.
