Reuse of Disused Transport Routes

The Council will seek to reuse disused transport routes such as railway lines or waterways and will resist development that would prevent their use for transport or recreational purposes.

The Council will promote appropriate opportunities for the reuse of disused transport routes, such as disused railway lines or waterways and will operate a presumption against development that would prejudice their reuse for transport or recreational purposes.
