Public off-road access to countryside and within urban areas is highly valued and benefits individuals, families and groups, land managers, developers and businesses. Jon Perks Associates can help you to deliver and manage off-road non-motorised access to improve your community, land or business.

In England and Wales off-road access is typically in the form of Public Rights of Way, usually public footpaths and public bridleways; but other access such as cycleways, Access Land and permissive access agreements have a strong role to play in managing access and land needs.

A good network of local off-road access routes can support a wide range of people – for communities, families and individuals it provides healthy car-free travel, opportunities for active recreation and means to avoid social isolation; for those seeking to develop land the provision of public paths enhance development proposals and satisfy national and local planning policies; and for businesses paths are not just a means to commute safely but support the local rural economy, whether the local cafe or cycle shop or the financially significant equestrian sector.
