This section deals with public rights of way. It appears to be a weakening of the current provisions requiring lists of public rights of way to be included in development plans as an automatic procedure. Will the Minister clarify what is different in section 58 from the current procedure for dealing with public rights of way in the existing Act? Depending on his response, I might have a couple of follow-on questions.
