<p>Active Travel England (ATE) is an executive agency of the Department and a statutory
planning consultee for new housing developments comprising at least 150 homes or 5
hectares in site size. In discharging this function, ATE makes recommendations to
improve infrastructure and measures that will support active travel journeys.</p><p>
</p><p>Where there are no locally set standards for cycle parking, ATE’s planning
team recommends that the standards in Table 11-1 of <em>LTN 1/20: Cycle Infrastructure
Design</em> are applied to new dwellings. This seeks the provision of one secure and
ideally covered cycle storage space per bedroom.</p><p> </p><p>Criterion 9 of ATE’s
planning application assessment toolkit – which helps to gather evidence and assess
the active travel merits of new developments – promotes the provision of high-quality
facilities including showers, lockers, changing rooms and drying areas for cyclists
in non-residential settings.</p><p> </p><p>It is for the relevant local planning authority’s
enforcement team to address instances where a developer does not comply with active
travel provisions secured through a planning application.</p><p> </p>
