What's the best bike storage option for new build developments?

Getting bike storage right from the start
New build developments have an advantage that retrofits do not: the opportunity to design bike storage into the project from the start. Getting this right has become more important as planning requirements for cycle parking have tightened, and as buyers and tenants increasingly expect good cycling infrastructure.
The most common approach in new build residential developments is a dedicated ground-floor bike store. This works well when the building layout accommodates it. For denser developments or those with limited communal floor area, outdoor bike hangars placed in the courtyard or on adjacent street space are a practical alternative.
Why Fietshangar suits new build projects
Fietshangar fits within a car-parking-space footprint, making it easy to allocate within a development's parking plan. It accommodates e-bikes up to 2.1 metres, future-proofing provision against the growing range of bike types. The product is available in any RAL colour, making it straightforward to match development aesthetics.
Developers specifying Fietshangar also benefit from its certified security credentials, which can support planning applications and satisfy cycle parking standards that specify a minimum security level.
