T4 Cycle Facilities

The council is implementing a network of strategic cycle routes, and the development of this and local routes will be actioned through the Highways Programme and the development process.

Major trip attracting development proposals should make provision for cycle facilities related to the site. This may include, where appropriate, the Strategic Cycle Network, cycle priority measures and new or enhanced cycle routes that relate to cyclists’ preferred routes.

Secure cycle parking and associated facilities will be sought in accordance with the council’s adopted cycle parking standards. Provision at public transport interchanges, buildings open to the general public (especially public institutions, leisure, educational and health facilities) and in Chatham town centre, District Centres and Local Centres will be particularly sought.
