DMT 3 Cycle parking

1.

All developments must adopt the minimum London Plan cycle parking standards (see Policy T5: cycling of the London Plan 2021). Any developments proposing a more generous provision of cycle parking and supporting infrastructure (e.g. changing rooms, maintenance facilities, lockers and shower facilities) will be supported, and this is actively encouraged.

2.

The design and layout of cycle parking should be in accordance with the guidance contained in the London Cycling Design Standards, supported by appropriate on-site security measures. Accessible cycle parking should also be considered and designed for meeting minimum requirements as set out in the London Plan.

3.

Where it is considered that proposed developments cannot accommodate sufficient cycle parking provision, developers will be obligated to work with borough officers to propose alternative solutions which meet the standards. These may include options such as providing spaces in secure on-street parking facilities such as cycle hangers or providing contributions to accessible Cycle Hubs in key areas identified in the Cycling and Walking Strategy. Developers in this situation should engage with the Council early in the planning process to discuss appropriate levels of provision and potential solutions.
