This policy states that ‘larger developments and those within accessible locations will need to be able to accommodate space for dockless cycle hire schemes, such as at travel hubs and key destinations’. Clarity should be provided within the policy as what is considered a ‘larger development’ that would trigger this requirement.
It is noted that the policy does not currently contain any details of car and cycle parking standards, which are clearly a necessity for such a policy. This information should therefore be provided as part of the policy, with clearly there being a difference in the required provision between the urban area of Cambridge and the surrounding settlements. These figures should be indicative as set out in the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan (2018) in order to provide maximum flexibility.
The provision of 1 electric car charging point per dwelling for private parking and 1 charging point per parking space in communal parking areas is supported.
