"Cllr Francis Noel Duffy courteously calls on the Chief Executive to investigate establishing a right of way under 9.4.0 of the development plan along the existing river side walk in Massy’s wood, between the entrance off Cruagh Lane and Cruagh Road. The route of this proposed right of way is illustrated with red dots on the attached map.
9.4.0 Public Rights of Way and Permissive Access Routes
The Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended) requires each County Development Plan to include an objective for the preservation of public rights of way that give access to places of natural beauty or utility and for such rights of way to be listed in an appendix and identifed on Development Plan maps. The identifcation of a public right of way requires verifcation and the burden of proof rests with the Local Authority. The Council will endeavour to identity and list public rights of way as they come to the attention of the Planning Authority. The creation of Permissive Access Routes to high amenity, recreational and scenic lands in partnership with landowners, adjoining local authorities, public bodies and other state agencies is considered to be an achievable mechanism to secure access to places of natural beauty or utility. Permissive Access Routes such as the Dublin Mountains Way and the Western Greenway in County Mayo are successful examples that have yielded signifcant tourism, recreation and amenity benefts

Policy 16 Public Rights of Way and Permissive Access Routes
It is the policy of the Council to continue to promote and improve access to high amenity, scenic, and recreational lands throughout the County and within adjoining counties, including places of natural beauty or utility, for the purposes of outdoor recreation, while avoiding environmental damage, landscape damage and impacts to Natura 2000 sites.
HCL16 Objective 1: To promote the preservation of public rights of way that give access to mountain, lakeshore, riverbank or other places of natural beauty or recreational utility such as parklands, geological and geo-morphical features of heritage value and to identify and map such public rights of way as they come to the attention of the Council.
HCL16 Objective 2: To promote and facilitate the creation of Permissive Access Routes and heritage trails that will provide access to high amenity, scenic and recreational lands including rural areas, forests, woodlands, waterways, upland/mountain areas, the Grand Canal, the Dodder Valley, the Liffey Valley and between historic villages (utilising modern technology), in partnership with adjoining local authorities, private landowners, semi-state and other public bodies such as Coillte and the Forest Service. Permissive Access Routes should not compromise environmentally sensitive sites.
HCL16 Objective 3: To promote and facilitate the continued development of the Dublin Mountains Way and the Wicklow Way in association with the Dublin Mountains Partnership, particularly Permissive Access Routes that provide access to regional and local networks of walking, running, hiking and mountain bike trails and other recreational facilities. The routing of new trails and rerouting of existing trails on public roads is encouraged.
HCL16 Objective 4: To promote and improve access, in partnership with the relevant landowners, to all the historic sites in the County and seek to maximise their tourism potential in partnership with the relevant landowners.
HCL16 Objective 5: To bring mountain amenities closer to residential communities by promoting the establishment of a network of formal footpaths, on-road paths and cycleways that facilitate casual walkers and cyclists
Action To investigate relevant areas of the County including Dublin-Wicklow Border, Kilakee, Lucan Village Cemetery and Brittas for the purpose of creating possible public rights of way"
