2.10.2 The provision of convenient secure parking and related facilities are
fundamental to attracting modal shift to cycling, particularly from single
occupancy motorised journeys made over shorter distances on a
regular basis. It is acknowledged that cycle parking demand varies
greatly between use classes and a straight ratio of car to cycle trips
can not be used to define the Cycle Parking Standard. Therefore,
current Cycle Parking Standards have been looked at on an individual
class basis. The standards represent a basis for helping to provide
sufficient cycle parking facilities throughout Essex. In addition to the
provision of cycle parking, developers will be required to demonstrate
that they have considered additional needs for cyclists, such as locker,
changing and shower facilities.
