Would however welcome recognition within the document that cycle parking should be designed and located with respect to the historic environment, particularly the effect of cycle parking solutions on the character and appearance of conservation areas, other heritage assets and in particular, their settings. Covered cycle racks in particular, which can be substantial structures, should and be well positioned to preserve or enhance the significance of any nearby heritage assets and contribute to positive place making. This should extend to the ground surfaces, colour and materials.

2. Notes that the SPD encourages cycle parking to be located as close to retail entrances as possible and we request that this is caveated as follows; Parking should be located as close as possible to the main entrance where appropriate to the historic environment
