T3 INCREASING AND PROMOTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CYCLING AND WALKING

The council will encourage and support the increasing use of bicycles by requiring:

  • new developments to include the provision of convenient accessible and safe secure cycle parking within the boundary of the site (see appendix 8);
  • the provision of suitable changing and showering facilities, following the guidance outlined in the Hammersmith and Fulham Cycling Strategy 2015; and
  • developer contributions for improvements to cycling infrastructure, including contributions to the extension of TfL or other Cycle Hire schemes to mitigate their impact on the existing network.

The council will facilitate walking by requiring larger developments to provide:

  • accessible, inclusive and safe pedestrian routes within and through the larger developments;
  • accessible and inclusive pedestrian access to the river and canal, where appropriate; and
  • contributing to improvements in the local highway infrastructure and walking environment.
