The Redbourn Parish Council's Neighbourhood Development Plan (May 2022), Policy 'PROJECT RED E: WALKING AND CYCLING ROUTES' item 4 says, "Proposals which seek to improve the usage of the Nickey Line for pedestrians and cyclists will generally be supported. Equestrian use of the Nickey Line should be maintained,
with off road rights of way facilities and contributions to these for horse-riding sought
where appropriate."
