My point is that it states “shall” regarding where a planning authority proposes to include a provision in a development plan relating to the preservation of a specific public right of way, whereas the existing legislation places a legal obligation on planning authorities to include objectives for the preservation of public rights of way. That is why it is a dilution of the existing legislation. That is the issue.
