Cycleways: Planning

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of mentioning the National Cycle Network in the National Planning Policy Framework.

Answer

The National Planning Policy Framework does currently state that planning policies should “provide for attractive and well-designed walking and cycling networks with supporting facilities which are designed to promote active travel”. We will certainly bear in mind my Hon Friend’s views for further updates.
