Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP)

The Vale of Glamorgan’s Rights of Way Improvement Plan sets out the Council’s vision, objectives and strategy for improving the County’s rights of way network.

The ROWIP is a framework to guide the Council’s work to maintain and improve the rights of way network and to prioritise the work that is done, and provides the basis for annual work-planning.

The 2024-2034 plan was finalised after a public consultation and has been produced with the support and guidance of Natural Resources Wales and the Welsh Government.

Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2024 – 2034

The 2024 ROWIP builds on the work contained within the Vale of Glamorgan’s first Rights of Way Improvement Plan, published in 2007. The 2024 updates the previous plan by incorporating key pieces of legislation, guidance and strategy released since publication of the first plan and by evaluating the past, present and future influences on countryside access in the Vale.
