The officer found the principle of the cycle shelter acceptable as ancillary to the site's use and supportive of active travel per Transport Proposal 1.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2(h) requires development to provide safe and convenient access, adequate parking, servicing and manoeuvring space. The proposal failed this test as the shelter in the turning space would impede car park usability per the approved layout. This was the key policy breach cited for refusal.
Transport Policy 1
Requires development proposals to take into account the Active Travel Strategy. The cycle shelter principle was supported as it facilitates active travel by cycle.
