Background information

Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.

Backlog

• Who asked for 'National cycle network' data?

• What is the driver for the request?

• Which 2024 focus area does the request support?

Screen

• What is the 'National cycle network' consideration?

• Is there legislation that defines 'National cycle network'?

• Who, in law, is responsible for the planning consideration or makes decisions about 'National cycle network'?

• Which organisations do we think should publish the data?

• Is the National cycle network a trigger?

• Is the National cycle network something to consult during plan making?

• Is there any National cycle network data already available?

• Do we think the data should come from a single source?

• Will a data standard be required?

Research

• Do we understand the lifecycle of a National cycle network?

• Do we understand how the data is created/produced?

• Where will or should the data be used?

• What other planning considerations does it interact with?

• Who are the statutory consultees for National cycle network?

• Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of National cycle network? How do we expect them to use National cycle network?

• What are the planning needs for this data?

• Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to National cycle network data?

• What are some potential uses of National cycle network data?

• What's the value of adding National cycle network data to the platform?

• From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making National cycle network data available?

  As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.
