See planning application at: http://publicaccess.durham.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=N3SZPOGDGB000

Good points: plans include secure covered cycle places at a ratio of 1:2 which is exactly what we have recently been asking for.

Bad points: Council officers have suggested this is too many and 1:5 would be appropriate. This is despite the fact this accommodation is relatively far off from most University sites.

Issues:
1) cycle access over footbridge
2) ensuring development is connected to all local footpaths
3) bike contraflow needed on Station Lane
4) navigating Gilesgate roundabout
