Inserted
Noted
It is acknowledged that the
canal is used by cyclists and
pedestrians; however, the
network map shows on-street
routes.
DM 23 (Cycle parking and
end-of-trip facilities)
Some developers have stated
that applications should be
assessed on a site by site
basis and that proposed
standards may be difficult to
deliver
CTC consider cycle parking
requirements insufficient.
City University London require
justification for higher cycle
parking provision for
universities compared with
other institutions.
Cycle parking standards have
been re-drafted. Cycle parking
is considered to be a good way
to promote sustainable
transport. Space-efficient cycle
storage options are available.
It is not considered that cycle
parking should be applied on
a site by site basis, but that
there should be uniform
standards across the borough.
Cycle parking standards are
improved compared to existing
standards and are based on
local mode-share statistics.
