Public Rights of Way
6.38 Public Rights of Way provide accessibility but also represent economic, tourism and amenity assets in themselves. Cork City Council will seek to ensure existing public rights of way are preserved and maintained and any development that will adversely affect these routes will be resisted. During the lifetime of the Plan, opportunities to formalise new public rights of way to improve access to green and blue infrastructure assets in Cork City will be encouraged. The omission of a public right of way from the Development Plan and its associated mapping shall not be construed as an indication that such a public right of way does not exist.
