Why it was refused
- The application fails to address the requirement for cycle parking to serve the new retail unit approved. The application has failed to demonstrate that adequate cycle parking to meet at least the minimum standards set out in Policy 82 can be achieved satisfactorily. The proposal approved is likely to necessitate the removal of existing cycle parking in front of the new store's entrance. Other cycle parking falls outside the red line of the application site. The proposal fails to accord with Policy 82 of the Cambridge Local Plan (2018).
From the council's decision notice.
