IM(b) Walking and Cycling
The Royal Borough is committed to protecting and enhancing Royal Greenwich’s footpaths and cycle ways and new developments should provide for the needs of their users. Development in Royal Greenwich should:
- integrate with the existing footpath and both the London and local cycle networks and encourage the principles of shared space;
- provide sufficient provision of changing and shower facilities for cyclists;
- provide cycle parking in line with policy IM(c);
- promote walking and cycling safety, with well lit, signed and well maintained routes and safe facilities for crossing roads and at transport interchanges;
- take account of ‘desire lines’ to local shops, services and schools, including safer routes to school and to public transport nodes; and
- Take account of the Royal Borough’s Cycling Strategy and in particular the development of primary and local cycle networks through Royal Greenwich.
