One reason that the #planningApplication system is broken is that developers are allowed to get away with submitting forms full of nonsense like this. How exactly is 21m² of building going to be demolished when the current internal floorspace is zero? #fail

Existing gross intemal floorspace (square metres) (a): 0

Gross intenal floorspace to be lost by change of use or demolition (square metres) (b): 21

Total gross new internal floorspace proposed (including changes of use) (square metres) (c): 261

Net aditional gross internal floorspace following development (square metres) (d = c -a): 261

I updated several Discussion threads for King's Lynn and West Norfolk Bike Users Group on #Cyclescape following yesterday's meeting but there's still more to do when I have time. Any help welcome.

#KLWNBUG #PlanningApplication #2400608O outline for 5 flats in South Lynn approved because apparently making everyone do 3 sides of a rectangle, incl 2 on roads without pavements, to access shops is acceptable if it's a small distance and National Planning Policy Framework paragraph 117 "give priority first to pedestrian and cycle movements, both within the scheme and with neighbouring areas; and [...] minimise the scope for conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles" can get stuffed!

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401914F #Emneth service station #rejected primarily for "additional noise generating equipment in close proximity to the residential neighbours"

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2402270F #Hardwick #Aldi replaces the planned #Lidl and it's OK but still not up to current #cycleparking standards: no priority entrance and further from the door than some regular car parking. I'll ask #KLWNBUG to remind them.

partial plan of a car park, showing the cycleway entering from the top left, to the left of a road, but then with no zebras or nothing to reach the cycle parking across the car park on the bottom-right of the building.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401969FM #NorthLynn almost there! The #Norfolk Parking Standards require the #cycleparking racks to be nearer the door than regular car spaces, not dumped on the far side by a substation, and for foot/cycle access to have priority over cars. I'll ask #KLWNBUG to remind them.

Plan showing a car park accessed from the road, with cycle racks in the bottom left corner, far from the door roughly centre-right.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401497F #kingsLynn Two more flats, #cycleparking for 4 or 6 bikes, but it's up a flight of external stairs. Is that good enough, #KLWNBUG ?

annotated except of the plan showing the bike store... on the first floor

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #kingsLynn #2401638F The former #Hoopers army surplus shop in Albion St to become 3 flats but no #cycleParking shown. I'll suggest #KLWNBUG objects. https://online.west-norfolk.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=SJM7TSIVLNH00

excerpt of plans showing the ground floor with no cycle storage/parking

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401678F #kingsLynn Flats with plenty of #cycleParking but not sure there's a gate across it. Is that good enough, #KLWNBUG? https://online.west-norfolk.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=SJZ6EEIVJPS00

excerpt of a plan showing 4 bike spaces under the stairs but apparently no gate

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401914F #Emneth service station with much bigger shop yet still no #cycleParking (or access from #space4cycling but there are other properties in the way). I'll suggest #KLWNBUG requests parking.

Partial plan of the service station, showing the sales building more than doubling.

#Norfolk #PlanningApplication #FUL20240045 #kingsLynn #Library - It has some #cycleParking (more than the old library which has none) but is it enough? Is it as much as #KLWNBUG hoped?

#2100152RMM #WestNorfolk #planningApplication #conditionDischarge for the major estate at #DenverHill - really don't think this cycleway to London Road should be split if so narrow and if it is, that tactile paving should be flat-top not corduroy and between straights 1.2m each side to avoid being a skid hazard. #KLWNBUG

#WestNorfolk #planningApplication #2401488F is another industrial unit in #kingslynn with a plan of rectangles and no #cycleparking

#2401582F #WestNorfolk #planningApplication #Saddlebow new industrial building with no #cycleparking - no plan this time because it is basically rectangles and we're interested in something not there. #KLWNBUG
