Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Residential cycle parking should allow a minimum of one space for each child or adult in the development, plus facilities for large cycles or cycle accessories (such as child seats and trailers) which are key enablers of a car-free lifestyle. At least one in 10 spaces should accommodate non-standard cycles such as cargo bikes or handcycles. One quarter of disabled commuters in Cambridge travel to work by cycle and this has the potential to be much higher with the right infrastructure and facilities such as spacious, secure cycle parking. Residential cycle parking must never be two-tier, high-low or [semi-]vertical racks; it must be at least as accessible to people of all abilities as the Local Plan requires and we encourage going above and beyond current policy to deliver very high-quality cycle parking.
