08/1787 - Response to Information Request [As Published] · 132008.1787

Conclusions

As such, for employees, it is considered that a total provision of 8 would be acceptable
under the terms of the AUSTROADS guidance. The Bike Store, as shown at Appendix
A, has dimensions of 3.4m by 2.8. From the specifications for the “Ned Kelly” type
bicycle storage system this provides space and access capacity for up to 8 rails.

Bicycle parking related to visitors/shoppers:

For visitor/shopper parking spaces, the security category is proposed to be Class 3 i.e.
the provision of bicycle rails to allow wheel and frame to be locked and located within
public view, as defined by the AUSTROADS guidance.

The provision for restaurants within the guidance is for 2 visitor spaces per restaurant,
which would equate to 4 in total for this proposal.

For shops, the guidance is for 1 per 500sq.m over 1,000sq.m. Because none of the
retail tenancies for this development exceeds 1,000sq.m (with the total combined area
being significantly less, at 504sq.m) the guidance therefore does not specify a provision

tate and therefore could be assumed to be a zero requirement. As the rate for

restaurants specifies a quantity rather than a rate, it is also considered that there will be
Spare capacity as a result of the relatively modest size of these tenancies.

In total for visitors/shoppers bicycle parking, there is guidance for the provision of 4
bicycle parking spaces. Modifications to the plans now includes the addition of two
bicycle rails/loops located in the vicinity of the most westerly retail frontage tenancy
which meet this guidance quantum and are shown at Appendix A.

The points raised in the Request for Further Information have been addressed either in terms of
modifications made to the. proposal or by justifications of the existing proposal and further reference to
the Traffic Impact Assessment report prepared for the original application. The issues regarding
accessibility of the car park and particular bays have been reviewed and found to be acceptable in
terms of geometry and driver behaviour. Bicycle end of trip facilities have been compared against
AUSTROADS guidance and shown to be acceptable also. It is considered that there are no traffic
matters which should prevent approval of the subject development. ‘
