Paragraph 9.3: this paragraph mentions the need to encourage residents to take part in physical activity. It should be noted that horse riding is most often the exercise of choice for women and children, two groups who are most frequently targeted to increase their uptake of exercise. It therefore follows that by increasing the availability of off-road riding this will benefit residents' health and wellbeing. This paragraph states quite correctly that '...overall it is about ensuring the right conditions are in place to improve the health of communities through planning for an enabling the right type and quality of infrastructure to be put in place at the right time...'. It is important to note what the 'right type' of infrastructure is - and we feel that the 'right type' is that which is accessible to ALL user groups, including equestrians. This is supported by the NPPF as the following paragraph confirms, but if a Plan is to be found sound by an Inspector, then access for all user groups needs to be the norm.
