For example, we are considering identifying safeguarding areas where proposals for other types of development would not be permitted if they would unacceptably sterilise the renewable or low carbon energy development for which they are safeguarded. 26. Professor Jim Longhurst, Assistant Vice-Chancellor: Environment Sustainability, University of West of England and Chair of the South Gloucestershire Climate Emergency University Advisory Group. The documents can be viewed below: Adopted Local Plan (PDF) [7MB] We have prepared an interactive version of the Local Plan. Such projects are often of a scale and complexity that may have wide ranging effects, both positive and negative, on local communities, the economy and the local area. determination of any planning applications for proposals related to the NNB proposal; andiv. But South Gloucestershire is a great place to live, work and visit. Local councillors. The Local Plan for South Gloucestershire is currently formed by the Core Strategy, the Policies, Sites and Places (PSP) Plan and the Joint Waste Core Strategy. The Assessment is expected to be undertaken by the developer as part of their Transport Assessment/Statement. The relationships we have built through the Covid-19 pandemic are central to this and that new community conversation will grow further through the development of these very local-level relationships. We recognise that future development must support our climate change commitments and our Climate Emergency Action Plans set out how we will work with our partners and residents to ensure growth is achieved whilst achieving these ambitions: In this way, we will ensure South Gloucestershire is a place where people respect the natural world, historic and cultural environment and live low carbon, sustainable and healthy lifestyles. We will need to plan from what we currently know, but also build in sufficient flexibility to enable our approach to adjust as new arrangements start to replace the current approach. Visit our Call for Sites consultation page to access the Call for Sites form, find out how this will inform the New Local Plan and to view all Call for Sites received to date on our online map. preparation of a new West of England Mayoral Plan The Spatial Development Strategy. Developers are encouraged to review South Gloucestershire Councils Planning Performance Agreement Charter (pdf) for further information. As a minimum, evidence should be submitted to demonstrate how development proposals:a) Are located away from areas vulnerable to increased flooding taking account of the latest available climate projections; andb) Incorporate measures to adapt to potential flood risk at building and site level, and minimise flood risk to the wider area; andc) Incorporate measures to mitigate high temperatures expected from future climate at building and site level; andd) Incorporate opportunities for supporting local food production; ande) Incorporate measures to optimise green infrastructure and enhance biodiversity; andf) Incorporate measures to reduce stress on water resources, and improve water efficiency; andg) Incorporate measures to improve public health and well-being. 4. For clarity, the baseline against which residential development will be required to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 100% is total residual energy use, which includes regulated (and unregulated Policy option 2) energy use. Go. Impact assessment should also be an iterative process, conducted alongside the development of project proposals so that impact assessment informs both project planning and design. The Climate Emergency declaration has given fresh impetus to tackling climate change in South Gloucestershire, and the local plan provides a crucial opportunity to make significant progress. Clause 1b requires the residual heat demand of a development to be met through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat source. A drop down menu will appear with address options. A smart energy system is a 100% renewable energy system which maximises efficiencies and reduces costs. The Keep it Local principle will see us commissioning more services and support from local voluntary and community groups who are best placed to support a new community conversation. Status : Local Plan document Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, 7. The local authority is also responsible for discharging Requirements (akin to planning conditions) following the grant of a Development Consent Order. Town and parish councils. To do this, we increasingly need to have commercial ambitions and will continue to invest in land and property where there is a robust financial business case to generate a return on investment. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? This will come forward in later stages of the plan. Flood risk, drainage, water quality and water management, 24. More details about this emerging plan can be found here: South Glos. In line with this guidance, site operators are required to produce a Waste Management Plan, a Site Wide Environmental Safety Case, and strategies to keep the risk of radiation exposure to people as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account economic and social factors. The design process should be supported by a range of design tools, including well-considered and informative design and access statements which include context and character appraisals, design review panels, masterplans, and design codes. Where NSIPs require a substantial number of construction workers, particular attention will need to be paid to potential impact, including on the housing market and the rental sector. At the South Gloucestershire Council Cabinet meeting on 10 October 2022, an updated Local Plan Delivery Plan (LPDP) setting out future stages for preparation of our new Local Plan was approved.This sets out when future stages of Local Plan consultation are planned, including a next consultation in 2023 and a draft plan (Regulation 19 stage) in 2024.This document supersedes previous LPDP and other timelines. Due to the proposed changes to the planning system set out in the Governments Planning White Paper, some of the policies we have listed (including our draft policies) might not be carried forward. Are located in areas identified as suitable for renewable energy development in the technical maps (to be included in the Appendices of the Local Plan); orb. Joint Local Transport Plan | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council Joint Local Transport Plan Transport planning is led by the West of England Combined Authority working with the four. Overall health in South Gloucestershire is good and improving, and life expectancy is higher than the national average. Waste storage and collection must be carefully considered in any form of development, but waste provision in residential developments in particular, must be well-integrated, visually appealing, and functional. The Accessibility Assessment can be used to justify a development sites departure from the prescribed parking standards set out in this policy and must be completed for developments within the urban zone. This will also support the objectives of Urban Lifestyles and the NPPF, making efficient use of land and freeing up space that would otherwise be used for car parking provision to allow much needed open spaces where higher densities will make land in short supply. Any advance or preparatory works are demonstrably necessary for the timely delivery of NNB at Oldbury, incorporate adequate and timely mitigation, and are accompanied by a strategy and mechanisms to secure appropriate restoration of the landscape should NNB at Oldbury not proceed. This policy is intended to be read in combination in particular with the emerging Local Plan 2020, policy on decommissioning, although it may also be relevant to any future proposals for disposing of radioactive waste off site, and the development of preferred principles for the decommissioning of a new nuclear power station. Select the one which you are looking for and the map will automatically zoom and centre on this location. Given the perceptions relating to radioactive waste, security requirements and limitations on future use that would be imposed by disposal of low level and very low level waste on site at Oldbury, that would endure for many generations into the future, but without any benefits of employment opportunities on the site, it is appropriate that Community Benefits are secured to offset these impacts. The public consultation on our plan to introduce restrictions on the rights of homeowners to convert existing housing into houses in multiple occupation in the Stoke Park and Cheswick ward, and parts of the Filton ward closed on 31 January 2023. Proposals will be considered more favourably where they achieve 2 or more of the following criteria: a. retail, office, leisure) which include vehicular parking must include as a minimum passive infrastructure to enable the future provision of electric charging facilities; For all non-residential developments providing 10 or more parking bays, at least 20% of those bays are required to provide active charging facilities for electric or other ultra-low vehicles. It can also bring wider environmental and economic benefits, and improve the security of our energy supply. Active Provision:An active OLEV compliant chargepoint, such that each dwelling has the opportunity to charge their vehicle at the same time with a total charging time not exceeding 8 hours. Along with other relevant policies in the plan, this policy will be a material consideration in assessing individual planning and waste applications, notifications and any consultations related to the decommissioning of Oldbury power station. Option 1 is viability on this means that the costs associated with this option have been tested through the Local Plan viability study. These are published on our website and well provide regular updates to track our progress against those commitments, ensuring that we are transparent and accountable. Major housing development(s) should provide a range of home tenures, types and sizes, to meet local housing need and market demand; b) Safe, secure and healthy living, working, recreation and travelling environments have been provided, where opportunities for criminal activities are designed out, secure and appropriately sized private amenity areas are created, and the design of the public realm promotes activity and social engagement; c) An appropriate level of infrastructure to enable high quality digital connectivity has been designed into the development. Voter ID will be required at South Gloucestershire Council's local elections on May 4 (Image: PA) A row broke out over the Government's 'rushed and ill-conceived' new law . And fulfilling the functions of enforcement authority. We have a flourishing local economy and high levels of employment and want to proactively support high potential future-facing industries. d) Where possible, renewable and low carbon energy installations and infrastructure have been incorporated. They said: "The M5 in South Gloucestershire is closed northbound between J18A (M49) & J17 (Cribbs Causeway) and southbound between J17 & J18 due to a collision whereby a tipper truck has collided . Theme: Flood & Flood Risk Management(incl. Introduction: A great place to live, work and visit, How we will work: People, Place, Partnership, How we will measure performance: What it will look like, improving our resilience to climate change, enabling development of renewable and low carbon energy supplies, protecting and restoring our natural environment and encouraging greater bio-diversity. The location, site planning, layout and design parameters for construction operations and all NNB related buildings, infrastructure, and mitigation measures avoids, minimises, mitigates or compensates for community, economic, and environmental impacts on the local and wider area, both in the short and longer term. 7. Given the nature and scale of many NSIPs, it is likely that the full range of topics under the Environmental Impact Assessment regulations will need to be considered. The existing nuclear power station at Oldbury ceased generation in 2012, and is now being decommissioned. In South Gloucestershire the average house price is 8.7 times the average pay (31,609). Applications for Development Consent Orders (DCOs) for NSIPs are made to the Planning Inspectorate (PINs), who examine and test the proposals against criteria on national need, benefits and impacts as set out in relevant policy. Phasing plans and triggers to secure the timely delivery of the various elements of the project, its supporting infrastructure and associated development will be necessary to ensure the control of impacts to acceptable levels, including, for example, and where relevant early or advance implementation of: Archaeological investigations and wildlife surveys to ensure that these inform site selection and site planning; and Strategies for procurement, employment, education, training and recruitment, that take account of long lead in times; and Transport infrastructure and worker accommodation proposals to avoid impacts on, for example, the road network, community facilities and the rented housing market; and Habitat creation, landscape mitigation and/or screen planting where significant impacts are predicted. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. For the purposes of this Policy, and in recognition of the potential of NNB to have wide ranging effects, the Council considers the following are neighbouring or relevant local authorities : Bristol, Bath & North East Somerset, North Somerset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Sedgemoor, Mendip, Stroud, Gloucestershire, Cotswold, Forest of Dean, Monmouthshire, Gloucester City, Taunton Deane and West Somerset. growth of South Gloucestershire up to 2027, incorporating spatial objectives, locational strategy, planning policies, and including the strategic sites and key social and physical infrastructure needed to support the development vision for South Gloucestershire. The Guidance will also provide detail on the information required for compliance with the Energy Management in New Development policy and the related clauses of the Creating well-designed places policy. The strategies for dealing with the different levels of waste vary according to their radioactivity characteristics, with higher activity wastes such as nuclear fuel having already been removed off site, intermediate level wastes being treated and packaged at Oldbury prior to being moved to Berkeley for long term storage until such time as a national geological disposal facility is available. Minimise cooling demand by reducing internal heat gains e.g. You can access the document and information produced to support the Phase 1 document below. Given the timeframe for decommissioning, it will be important that the masterplan is an evolving document, and that phasing and review mechanisms for all relevant socio-economic and environmental considerations are built in. The document includes a set of planning policies for the parts of the area outside Exmoor National Park. Significant weight will be given to outstanding or innovative designs which respond to positive, locally distinctive features. secure reliable energy generation capacity; ord. Proposals for development where the primary function utilises, promotes or perpetuates reliance on fossil fuels, are considered to be in conflict with the policy and will not be acceptable. We will ensure that children and young people are supported in their early years, We will work to eliminate child poverty across South Gloucestershire, We will support all children and young people to achieve positive mental health and wellbeing, We will provide appropriate support to facilitate choices for children with a learning difficulty, We will provide the best support possible to those children and young people we are responsible for in care, as they leave care and beyond as they begin independent lives, We will ensure people have access to the best possible information, advice, and guidance to support themselves and their families, We will shift the balance of support towards prevention, We will support the most vulnerable adults to maintain and promote their independence, We will enable communities to work together to help improve their lives and address the problems that are important to them, We will ensure that people feel safeguarded and supported in our care, at home and in their communities, We will clean streets and maintain roads effectively, We will lead the response to the climate emergency and deliver on our commitments, We will promote clean, affordable, high quality design of new and existing communities, We will plan to join up housing and appropriate infrastructure such as schools and transport networks that make it easier for people to get around, prioritising sustainable and low carbon travel choices, We will enable people and business to recover and thrive within cohesive communities that value diversity, We will demonstrate how well we deliver value for money in the services we provide and commission from others, We will increase our commercial operations to generate income to support council services and use our assets for maximum benefit to our communities, We will work as one council providing staff with the skills, tools, and support to perform at their best, promote equality of opportunity for all and live our values, We will develop our digital infrastructure to support residents and staff in day-to-day life. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) The layout integrates with existing or permitted adjacent development and connects with the wider network of foot, cycle and public transport links, including Public Rights of Way and strategic green infrastructure corridors/routes; b) Safe and sustainable access to existing and proposed Key Services & Facilities is provided or enhanced, through a range of transport options, giving priority to sustainable travel modes, such as walking and cycling; c) Permeable space(s) and accessible route(s) through a development have been created, allowing clear, safe, and direct movement, taking account of desire lines where appropriate; and. Our approach will be backed by appropriate data-gathering and evidence as we seek to develop a long-term financial strategy aligned with these Council Plan priorities. 5. Julie Close, Chief Executive, Southern Brooks Community Partnerships and Chair, South Gloucestershire Equalities Forum. 21. Current Environment Agency (EA) guidance (Decommissioning of nuclear sites and release from regulation July 2018) includes for the potential disposal of some Low or Very Low Level Waste (LLW and VLLW) on site, instead of transporting off site for disposal elsewhere. The development plan sets out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land in South Gloucestershire. Please note: at this stage, the existing policies set out in the Core Strategy, Policies Sites and Places Plan and Joint Waste Core Strategy will remain in place, and will be used to determine planning applications. What is the current approach to Parking Standards? For example, we know we need to set a new strategy and policies for where new homes, jobs and infrastructure will go, to eventually replace existing policies like CS5 (Location of development), CS12 (Safeguarded areas for economic development), and our approach to town centres and high streets (Policies CS14 and PSP31). We have to accept however that we are likely to be in a period of transition which might well extend beyond the timeframe of the Local Plan. Creating sustainable rural villages and settlements, Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. For some topic-based policies we already have prepared early drafts of policies to share, covering the following topics: Working Policy Draft Available (Strategic), Working Policy Draft Available (Non-Strategic). The contribution to the carbon offsetting fund set out under the fifth part of the sequence in Clause 1e should be used as a last resort where it is not possible to achieve sufficient on-site measures to reduce the carbon emissions by 100%. It is apparent from experience on other sites across the country that an Oldbury NNB project could be the largest and most complex development faced by local communities and the Council in generations. Population 63% of the population live in the urban area, 17% in market towns and 20% in villages and rural areas. Planning out space for private vehicle parking to create better places. A core group of Stroud District, Select any property or area of the District and find out about planning policies and planning restrictions that affect it. But above all, it is local. An explanation as to how any necessary Environmental Impact Assessment requirements will be met and Habitats Regulations compliance achieved, should accompany the strategic masterplan and individual proposals for the site. Earlier PSP plan documents and representations can be downloaded from our website. Due to the evolving and emerging position in relation to decommissioning and radioactive waste management and disposal, and the likely duration of the decommissioning process, it is envisaged that a strategic masterplan for the site would need to be an iterative document that is reviewed and revised in response to changes in the national policy, context, practice and permissions. The policy must also acknowledge and reflect that we are in a period of transition, and help support the process of moving from established practices to the new approaches which will better support our sustainability objectives in the medium and longer term. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? It also identifies land and allocates sites for. Where trees are provided within areas of public realm, suitable below ground provision must be made to ensure their longevity; b) Net gains for biodiversity, tree cover and landscape diversity have been achieved. This policy will be applied in conjunction with other relevant policies in this plan, in particular policies on NSIPs, new nuclear development and decommissioning. Our connectivity (both transport and digital) is a huge attraction to business. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? Our Scrutiny Commission will also have a key role in monitoring delivery of the Council Plan as well as carrying out their policy development role as the Plan develops and is implemented. We need to make sure that any current private and on-street parking provision is designed so that it can relatively easily be repurposed if the need for it diminishes. To this end, we are updating our evidence base through preparing a Renewable Energy Resource Assessment Study (RERAS), and through doing so we will identify suitable areas for renewable and low carbon energy generation and related infrastructure. Our priority is excellence in education and skills, ensuring equal opportunities for all. Where possible, our priority is to prioritise development where it supports regeneration of existing town centres, high streets and communities and promotes the sustainability of existing services. Providing specific parking provision for powered two wheelers allows a more efficient use of the parking area as otherwise car parking spaces will be less efficiently used. Urban Lifestyles is an emerging approach for South Gloucestershire, and is explained and set out in more detail in section 6 of the Phase 1 Issues and Approaches consultation document. 3. This policy will support decommissioning of the existing station in a way that considers both interim and end states, including: Recognising the:o Potential for beneficial temporary / interim and or long term uses including integration with NNB, green energy useso Benefits of significant quality employment opportunities provided by the site over many years and promotion of this into the futureo Existence of Grid connection infrastructureo Environmental sensitivity of the localityo The presence of priority habitat and the declining biodiversity value of lagoon 3 on site, ando Constraints of road access and flood risk, delivering sustainable outcomes in environmental, socio economic and transport terms, and net gain for biodiversity, as well as. Achieving these and other priorities will require new policies which update and eventually replace our adopted policies. Therefore, as the Local Plan goes through the preparation process, evidence for costs will be re-assessed, and depending on the evidence and feedback from consultation, the Council will move to implement Option 2. Renewable heat technologies include air, ground or water source heat pumps, micro-heat networks using ground source heat pumps with shared ground arrays, and biomass. The objective will be to ensure that only those proposals with a positive balance of outcomes in terms of reducing negative effects or increased benefits are consented. Passivhaus is an international energy standard for buildings. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) The scale and massing of the built form relates to the site and the local character surrounding the development, with minimal amenity impacts relating to overlooking, over-shadowing and over-bearing issues; b) Construction materials are locally distinctive, complementary when viewed as a collection, and appropriate for their use and function, with a focus on robustness and a positive visual appearance over time; c) The arrangement and design of windows (the fenestration) is visually attractive, balanced and functional. 06/02/2023. The Phase 1 consultation ran from 27 November 2020 to 1 March 2021. Pollution We are committed to reducing. Broadly, this new approach aims to optimise development sites, by making more efficient use of land in sustainable urban locations, as required by paras 122 and 123 of the NPPF.
