This policy sets out the standards and quantities of cycle parking that new
development must provide. It states that cycle parking should be provided in
excess of the minimum standards set out in Appendix L of the adopted Cambridge
Local Plan (2018) and at least 5-10% of cycle parking provision should be designed
to accommodate non-standard cycles and should consider appropriate provision for
electric charging points.
Brookgate support the application of the minimum cycle parking standards from the
Cambridge Local Plan across the AAP area.
Cycle parking provision will be very important in encouraging sustainable transport
and to assist in delivering on low car use development. Brookgate consider that
cycle parking provision above ‘minimum standards’ may be necessary (depending
on demand) and will need to be evidenced as part of the overall transport strategy
and assessment work for each development site.
Opportunities for shared cycle parking between deference land uses is welcomed
and supported. The efficient use of cycle parking will be key to responding to the
future demands for cycling in the NEC.
Cycle parking numbers and type will be provided for future phases of Cambridge
North in accordance with these standards and detailed within specific transport
assessments.
