4.0.25 Cycling parking and end-<strong>of</strong>-trip facilities support <strong>Islington</strong>’s strategic target to achieve a<br />
6% modal share for cycling by 2026. In order to deliver the proposed modal share<br />
developments are required to provide a good level <strong>of</strong> cycle parking to allow for more<br />
journeys to be made by bicycle. Cycle parking will also support implementation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
council's car free policy. The car free policy will in turn support implementation <strong>of</strong> the cycle<br />
parking requirements, because there will be more space available on sites, which may<br />
under a different policy framework have been used for car parking.<br />
4.0.26 For publicly-accessible developments, cycle parking for the public may be provided either<br />
through on-site provision and/or through a financial contribution to allow the council to<br />
install <strong>of</strong>f-site parking in the public realm. The appropriate provision <strong>of</strong> cycling parking shall<br />
be discussed on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with the cycle parking standards,<br />
where the standards differentiate between parking for occupants and visitors. The amount<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>f-site parking required will be related to the need for publicly-accessible parking and<br />
to site characteristics, with a requirement for all parking to be conveniently located for the<br />
intended users. Publicly-accessible cycle parking will be credited towards the minimum<br />
visitor parking requirement for the purposes <strong>of</strong> Part A <strong>of</strong> this policy.<br />
4.0.27 On-site cycle parking is required in addition to any minimum floorspace requirements. For<br />
example, any area to be used for cycle parking must be in addition to minimum residential<br />
space standards (including storage) and requirements for employment floorspace.<br />
4.0.28 End-<strong>of</strong>-trip facilities are required to include at least inclusive changing facilities, showers,<br />
lockers and clothes drying facilities and are required to be sufficient to meet the peak<br />
needs <strong>of</strong> the development, based on the occupancy <strong>of</strong> the development and the amount<br />
<strong>of</strong> cycle parking required.<br />
4.0.29 Cycle parking for disabled users shall include parking that can accommodate mobility<br />
bicycles and tricycles. This is required at a level appropriate to the scale <strong>of</strong> development<br />
and the users <strong>of</strong> the development. Residential schemes are required to provide disabled<br />
user accessible cycle parking at least for those residential units suitable for disabled<br />
people. Cycle parking suitable for families may include parking that can accommodate<br />
trailers for children, and is required at least in relation to family-sized units i.e. residential<br />
units with three or more bedrooms.<br />
4.0.30 Developers should consider a more intensive approach to meeting cycle parking standards<br />
than single-storey parking. Two-tier cycle parking solutions are available and enable a<br />
more efficient use <strong>of</strong> land. In addition, there are a range <strong>of</strong> intelligent cycle storage<br />
solutions available and developers are required to demonstrate that all options have been<br />
investigated, where there are issues <strong>of</strong> compliance with the cycle parking requirements.<br />
