Cyclists’ facilities – Shell only/shell & core assessments - KBCN0882

Cycle parking must be provided as part of the base-build for all assessment types. Where compliance is sought for additional cyclists’ facilities, the developer should provide all aspects of the installation which fall within the scope of their work and facilitate the future completion of any aspects which do not. For shell & core assessments, if additional facilities, such as showers and drying space, are not provided in core areas and internal walls are not provided to tenanted areas, these must be indicated on design drawings and all relevant services provided. This would include capped-off supplies and electrical points as necessary in order to facilitate the completion of the compliant facilities by the tenant. Where internal walls are within scope, a compliant changing area must be provided, however for lockers, compliance can be achieved by providing a design drawing showing that there is an adequately sized and suitably located space for the required number of compliant lockers. The developer should do as much as they can, within the scope of their work, to facilitate the future installation of compliant facilities and should not do anything which would make future installation more onerous.

01 Oct 2024 - Addition paragraph added to clarify the approach for changing areas and lockers.
25 May 2018 - Wording amended to clarify the intent.

Measurements and calculations for reporting on amenities – design stage - KBCN1381

Reporting on accessible amenities is an explicit requirement of the Site-Specific Transport Assessment in Tra 01. However, if this assessment does not provide enough information to satisfy the relevant requirements for Tra 02, it must be supplemented by an additional report. This does not have to be provided by author of the transport assessment, and could, for example, be produced by the BREEAM assessor or a member of the design team.  

02 Nov 2023 - Reference to calculating the AI removed. This, and reporting on accessible amenities are explicit requirements of the transport assessment in Tra 01. Title and wording updated to clarify the intent and made applicable to Tra 02.
