The ability to park a cycle in a safe, secure, and convenient location is a key aspect of encouraging and supporting travel by bike. The County Council considers that cycle parking provision at least in line with standards will be required. However, further more detailed analysis will be needed on cycle mode share and targets to determine an appropriate level that seeks to maximise cycle access to the area. This is likely to confirm a level of provision in excess of standards given the high levels of non-car mode split likely to be required but as noted this will require further, more detailed, analysis.

Increased cycle parking is in line with increasing modal share to walking and Cycling, and Active Transport is a key wider determinant of health.
