# Summary

Points are awarded when at least 1 secure bicycle space is provided per dwelling. The number of parking spaces required to claim points is displayed within the tool. Bicycle parking should be visible, accessible and convenient for residents, with a clear path of travel from the building entrance and including wayfaring signage when bicycle parking is located in a central room or cage.  This credit is not available for mounted bicycle parking above car bonnets due to access difficulties when a car is parked in the space.  Additional points are available under a separate credit where bicycle parking is located at ground level for the convenience of residents.

# Documentation & evidence required

  • A secure bicycle parking storage space per dwelling has been indicated on the floor plans indicating with notations what storage system rack will be adopted and what areas need to be allowed for clearance and access to the racks. The overall number of spaces should also be notated.
