Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 29709

Received: 02/02/2015

Respondent: Brookgate

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

The City Council have a preference for cycle parking to be provided using Sheffield Stands. Increasingly double stacking racks are being installed and used at rail stations and are widely used new residential and non-residential developments. Double stackers provide added benefits, maximising cycle parking provision and making the most efficient use of limited space. It is suggested that the Cambridge City cycle parking standards are updated to reflect the increased use and popularity of double stackers. The provision of a high proportion of cycle parking using double-stackers would maximise the efficient use of the CNFE site.
