Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57977

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Mr Daniel Lister

Representation Summary:

The plan should mandate secure cycle parking on all developments, to a much higher standard than currently being supplied where cycle theft is a huge problem.

I support the requirement to supply EV charge points on all new developments. The percentage of active spaces and minimum power should reflect the likely length of stay in each parking space. I support mandatory 100% at 7kW for dwellings. 20% for retail seems a reasonable compromise, but given the shorter stays a higher minimum power level would make sense to support future EV demand.
