Yes. We strongly support for example the need to protect and enhance the network of recreational routes in the countryside, and for strategic routes to be included on the Policies Map.

The Open Space Study (2016-2030) is now somewhat dated and is likely to require reviewing for example to ensure that the standards within it remain up-to-date.

In some parts of the country (e.g. the Wye Valley) CPRE branches have become increasingly concerned about the impact of concentrations of intensive farming e.g. poultry units on the river catchment water quality. This is due to run off of ammonia, phosphates etc. both from the sites and from associated waste management measures. The policy should aim to address this risk in the relevant river catchments in CWaC, and also any impacts that could arise for the internationally important habitats in and around the Dee and Mersey Estuaries.
