T3 — Cycling.

A. The council will apply London Plan policy T5 in accordance with the Lambeth Healthy Routes Plan to promote cycling. B. Local Plan policy Q13 sets out the council’s quality requirements in relation to the provision of cycle parking. Lambeth’s Healthy Routes Plan sets out the quality requirements in terms of cycling infrastructure. C. Lambeth will improve conditions for people to cycle and make cycling a safer, healthier, quicker, more direct and attractive form of travel. Lambeth will help to enable people who want to cycle to do so and seek to address concerns around road danger and air quality. D. In line with the hierarchy set out in Local Plan policy T1(c), Lambeth will promote cycling by reducing motor traffic and through improvements to  To table of contents Lambeth Local Plan 2020–2035 | Section 8: Transport and communications routes, giving greater priority to cyclists in the use of road space, reducing road danger from other transport modes and through improvements to signage and facilities. E. The council will require the provision of appropriate secure and covered cycle parking facilities in accordance with the minimum standards set out in London Plan policy T5 and with Local Plan policy Q13. When designing building layouts sufficient space should be allocated at the outset to meet these requirements. Development proposals for non-residential uses should include provision of showers, changing facilities, drying rooms and lockers for cyclists appropriate to the number of cycle parking spaces provided. In purpose-built student accommodation schemes, part of the required cycle parking provision could be provided as pool bikes. For other types of development, pool bike provision is encouraged in addition to the cycle parking requirement. F. In all developments at least 25 per cent of the total cycle parking provision should be of the most accessible type, such as ‘Sheffield’ stands, of which five per cent of the total cycle parking provision should be designed and clearly designated for larger and adapted cycles. These stands should be spaced further apart and close to access points, to cater for users with disabilities and cargo bikes. For a development requiring 100 cycle parking spaces, this would equate to 20 spaces with standard Sheffield type stands and a further 5 in stands spaced further apart and close to access points. In all cases at least one Sheffield stand should be provided, close to the access point. The provision of folding bikes with storage will be considered where a high level of cycle-rail trips is expected. G. In all developments at least one charge point should be provided to allow for re-charging of electric cycles and a charge point should be provided for a minimum of 1 in 10 cycle parking spaces. Charge points should be accessible to all cycle stand types, particularly those intended to accommodate larger/cargo cycles which may be more likely to require electric assistance. H. Development proposals will be expected to enable and contribute towards improvements to cycle access, including the delivery and improvement of local and strategic routes and links, as identified in the Lambeth Healthy Routes Plan. All development should reduce road danger, to help deliver ‘Vision Zero’ in the borough. In appropriate locations, developers will be required to contribute land and/or finance towards the delivery of new cycle hire docking locations and other public facilities ancillary to cycling, such as cycle pumps/servicing facilities. A minimum of three years free membership of the Cycle Hire scheme for all residents regardless of tenure, should be made available in new residential developments. Uptake of cycle hire business accounts should be encouraged for occupiers of commercial developments through the travel plan process.
