SBC Local Plan Review

Stevenage Borough Council are conducting a Local Plan Partial Review
 

The Local Plan is a very important policy document.  Officers and Councillors have to refer to and adhere to for all decision making including Planning Applications. More information about the review process can be found here.

In August 2024, Cycling UK Stevenage submitted comments which can be found here.

Parking SPD

In November 2024, we submitted detailed comments on the Parking Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). Again, this is a crucial document and the policies in it have to be adhered to for planning applications. We know that a lack of safe, secure and accessible cycle parking is a big deterrent preventing people from choosing to cycle. Our comments can be viewed here.

The proposed Design SPD contains a whole section on Movement which prioritises walking, cycling and public transport. We recognised this in a brief submission here.
