My query is whether or not you know if it was intentional/ the reasoning behind changing the minimum clearance for the above in Chapter 4 only (appreciating that these are minimum clearances and site circumstances may dictate higher clearances)?

Chapter 1 (5.4.2) “A minimum clearance of 2100 mm should be maintained over footways, 2300 mm over cycle tracks or shared-use facilities and 2700 mm over equestrian routes.”

Chapter 3 (1.9.1) “A clearance of at least 2300 mm should be maintained over a cycle track or a shared cycle / pedestrian facility.”

Chapter 4 (1.10.1) “A clearance of 2400 mm should be maintained over a cycle track or shared cycle track/footway” (we don’t have a copy here of 2013, but in 2004 it was 2300mm).
