Decision details

Section A - Link from Rufforth village to the start of the Public Rights of Way (PROW) section. Option A3 was approved in the short term subject to continued negotiation with the landowners.

Section B - PROW linking Wetherby Road to North of England Activity Centre (NOEAC) (Clay Target Centre) access road. Approved the widening of the public footpath to be converted to Bridleway status.

Section C - NOEAC access road section. Option C2 was approved to provide an off-road path running parallel with the NOEAC access road to remove the potential for conflict between drivers and other path users subject to funding clarification.

Section D - Cross-corner route junction with NOEAC access road to junction with Yorwaste access track at other side. Option D1 was approved to provide a new cross-corner route on Yorwaste Land to bring the route at least 100m away from the NOEAC site to reduce the possibility of horses being spooked by close-proximity gunfire.

Seciton F - Moor Lane to Northfield Lane. Approved minor surfacing improvements to existing bridleway.

Section G - Northfield Lane to Knapton. Option G1 was approved to use the existing at-grade crossing of the A1237 near the Knapton Main Street junction in the short term pending continued negotiations with the owner of the field alongside the A1237 which, if successful, will enable option G2 to be provided in the longer term.
