Review of our Core Paths Plan

A review of our original Core Paths Plan (2010) began in 2017 and proposed an additional 81km of Core Paths and the removal of 4km (less than 1% of the overall network).

A public consultation on these changes ran from 23rd November 2018 until 26th April 2019.

Following a local inquiry and Ministerial approval, the new plan was adopted by the NPA Board on 14th June 2021. After the new plan was adopted there was a judicial review of both the Ministers’ approval and the Board’s adoption of the new plan.  The Inner House of the Court of Session upheld both the Ministers’ approval, and the Board’s adoption, of the new plan.
