Similarly for biodiversity, where alternative habitats may be required to accomodate displaced species, and for archaeology where advance agreement and implementation of Written Schemes of Investigation, early agreement and implementation of strategies may be required. The financial contribution required is set at 95 per tonne of carbon dioxide (or index linked equivalent from date of plan adoption) that would be emitted from the development over a period of 30 years. Given the long term nature of decommissioning, spanning many years and even generations, it is acknowledged that plans for the site will evolve over time, and the masterplan will therefore need address both interim and end states and be capable of review and revision. You can also register for updates by emailingpolicy.consultation@southglos.gov.uk. For residential development with communal off street parking provision, at least 20 per cent of spaces are required to have active charging facilities, and passive provision is required for all remaining spaces; High density and/or large scale residential / mixed use developments are additionally required to facilitate the provision of an electric or ultra-low emission car club, and provide dedicated space for the club with active charging facilities; All non-residential developments (e.g. 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. South Gloucestershire is an area with extensive Green Belt, Cotswold National Landscape designation, bustling urban areas and three unique market towns. Going forward our budgets will continue to be stretched and so delivering on our future vision requires us to achieve the best outcomes from every penny of your money we spend, closely aligning our resources against our priorities and commitments. 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. The appropriate level of cycle parking for different types of development is provided in Schedule D. New builds will be expected to meet the standards set out in Schedule D. Conversions will also be expected to meet the standard, unless it can be demonstrated that individual site circumstances/constraints will not allow this. The timing of this Council Plan is important as we put in place the support and investment to re-ignite our powerful and innovative economy, and make our places safe, attractive, and sustainable for future generations. The majority of policies cannot be effectively drafted until further consultation, evidence and studies have been carried out. 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. Youve told us we need to have a greater focus on the Climate Emergency. Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. NDA Radioactive Waste Strategy Figure 2 explains the Waste Hierarchy: preferred approach is prevention, then minimisation, then reuse, then recycle and disposal only when necessary. 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. 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. Go to South Gloucestershire Council. 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. Local Plan Saved Policies; The Minerals and Waste Local Plan Policies; Proposals Map; Supplementary residential extension guidelines (RESPD) which provide information on what kinds of residential extensions are considered acceptable in Slough. Although the 1992 planning permission for Lagoon 3 required restoration to its former or an improved condition following cessation of its use, the biodiversity value of this feature is declining as the water area reduces due to scrubbing over. The Councils will continue their longstanding history of joint working and cooperate with each other and with other key bodies on strategic, cross boundary matters as they prepare their Local Plans.The evidence base prepared so far to inform the Spatial Development Strategy will be published on the WECA website and will be reviewed and used as appropriate to inform the Councils Local Plans. Steps should be taken to mitigate the visual impact of any such installations. These discussions will contribute to the Councils preparation of a pre-engagement position statement or SPD for NNB, as set out above. We are required by the National Planning Policy Framework to split our policies into two types; strategic or non-strategic. We're working on an update to the Bristol local plan. . This Phase 1 Issues and Approaches consultation is the first step in preparing the Local Plan 2020.Follow the links below to read each chapter of the plan on this website, or scroll down to download the whole document as a pdf file. Therefore, proposals for the management and storage of radioactive waste would form part of any application for the project. In order to minimise impact, and reduce the risk of unforeseen impacts, advance surveys and assessments of baseline conditions should inform site selection and planning work as well as detailed design. The following tables provide the range of policies which we intend to include in our Local Plan 2020. We have delivered thousands of new homes to help meet current requirements, but demand is set to intensify further over the coming years. The Core Strategy was adopted on 11 December 2013. In establishing a character or identity of a development, the surrounding context is important to consider and reference. Given the designations on the estuary the Habitats Regulations will also be relevant. South Gloucestershire Council is in the process of developing a new Local Plan, which is the top-level planning document for the district, which establishes where we do and don't want to. However, if very detailed approaches are required, or different approaches are required above and beyond what we have provided, we may need to progress some policies with additional supporting documents. Option 1 is viability on this means that the costs associated with this option have been tested through the Local Plan viability study. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. This is currently scheduled to take place in late 2023. We have provided examples of how we will put the priorities and commitments into action and we are backing each commitment with a bespoke action plan, setting out what we will do and how you will know we are delivering value for money services, which are making a difference for your community. Clause 1a refers to the identification of suitable areas. We hope to consult you on a fuller range of policies in 2021. We are actively engaging with partners and stakeholders to identify how we can continue to target resources to those most dependent on the council and ensure equality of opportunity.By their very scale, these issues cannot be tackled in isolation and require commitment from senior leadership, direct staff resource and a comprehensive whole community approach with residents and partners. Strategic policies are those necessary to address the overarching priorities for the area, including policies that address cross-boundary issues. 25. 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. You can get information on their website. Income generation for community infrastructure purposes does not form a material consideration in planning decisions. The most up to date census data outlines that South Gloucestershire has a higher level of vehicle ownership per household than the national average. It may be necessary for context and character appraisals to look further afield than the immediate locality or most numerous buildings in an area to identify and respond to distinctive building types and other features of quality, such as boundary treatments, plot size and shape, and landscape treatments, to inform new development. The Local Plan 2020 will shape our district for the next 15 years. There has historically been an emphasis on assessing the impacts of major projects at peak, i.e. 4. The Council will also explore how a percentage reduction in car parking provision could allow a percentage increase in cycle parking provision, however the details of how this may work are yet to be determined. Specific on-site requirements for Residential Development. In 2004, 21 South Gloucestershire areas rated in the most deprived 20% nationally against at least one domain of the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. Therefore Clause 1c requires that after design measures to minimise the demand for cooling have been incorporated into the development then any residual cooling demand must be met sustainably through passive cooling measures, and then if necessary, through renewable mechanical ventilation measures and finally, renewable active cooling measures. We will lead by example, decarbonising our own operations and making them climate and ecologically resilient. Community benefits beyond the requirements of the Planning Acts may also be sought through the provisions of the Local Government Acts, other legislation, through voluntary agreement with the project provider, or in accordance with an industry protocol. Further detail regarding sustainable design and construction methods will be provided in a new policy, which will be brought forward through future stages of preparing the Local Plan 2020. Electric and Ultra Low Vehicle charging provision. In planning this new housing, we must recognise the need to protect our natural habitats and biodiversity. Residential Parking Supplementary Planning Document. 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. We want to make sure that where our new Local Plan can tackle the issues and address priorities for the area, we have effective policies in order to do so. South Gloucestershire New Local Plan We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. 30. Within the zones applications would need to be supported by an SGC Accessibility Assessment. You can read more in the Action Plans 12 16 document. Given the scale, complexity and duration of larger NSIPs, mechanisms and contingencies to enable the modification of mitigation to address unanticipated project impacts. Satisfaction in the area79% of local people are satisfied with their area. In August 2020, the Government released a Planning White Paper for consultation which proposes significant changes to the Planning system. This information is also useful in understanding how once our Local Plan 2020 is eventually adopted, the existing policies will be replaced with a range of new policies that will set different approaches and requirements. An increasing proportion of the councils funding comes from what we receive from council tax and business rates and so it is natural that our key priorities and commitments are based on what you, our residents and local businesses, have told us is important to you. Additionally, we have sought to demonstrate the scale of the new approach we are taking to addressing issues affecting the most vulnerable. These documents contain a. Our new Council Plan 2020 sets out how we will build on and deliver this vision, highlighting: This is your Council Plan. Key to maximising benefits and minimising impacts across a range of topic areas relevant to NNB will be the early agreement and potentially the advance and/or early delivery of a range of strategies and mitigation measures, defined triggers for implementation, along with systematic and clearly defined monitoring to ensure effectiveness and identify any need for adjustments. You can access the document and information produced to support the Phase 2 document below. These would be focussed around designated town centres and transport hubs. 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. Please refer to the map under Schedule A which outlines indicatively where these zones could be. In justifying new development in accordance with the NPPF requirements, this approach will not be acceptable. The Local Plan will guide how and where this will happen. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 21.
South Gloucestershire Council voter ID row over 'rushed and ill In recognition of the burden and disturbance borne by the community in hosting some Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects, the Council will where appropriate require packages of community benefits to be provided by the developer to offset and compensate the community for the burden imposed by hosting the project. Promotion of healthy lifestyles and well-being both for construction workers and local people Dedicated provision of facilities and services for construction workers to prevent impacts on local communities Surveys of local people during implementation can help understanding of well-being issues Provision of amenities for construction workers could become long term legacy for local communities Enhancements to the PRoW network to compensate for any unavoidable losses. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? But above all, it is local.
Policies, Sites and Places plan (PSP) - South Gloucestershire 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. In line with the emerging Local Plan 2020 policy on NSIPs Council engagement in the preparation of a strategic masterplan on decommissioning should be appropriately resourced via a Planning Performance Agreement or other suitable mechanism. This approach can have significant visual, community and conservation benefits.
South Gloucestershire New Local Plan Although the principles of decommissioning will be agreed at the project planning stages, due to the long timescales involved, flexibility will be required in how these are met. It will be important therefore to assess the predicted impacts of the project over time, in order to determine either their acceptability or whether additional control measures and/or mitigation are required. 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. In South Gloucestershire the average house price is 8.7 times the average pay (31,609). The credibility of monitoring information should be ensured through provision for independent analysis and verification, as well as the establishment of theme specific monitoring and advisory groups involving relevant stakeholders. And fulfilling the functions of enforcement authority. * In 2004, 21 South Gloucestershire areas rated in the most deprived 20% nationally against at least one domain of the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. This may be subject to change based on any changes to the National Planning System. This is because in non-residential development proposals it is difficult to assess the unregulated energy use as the end-user can vary widely and is not necessarily known. It is also important that the SGC Accessibility Assessment does not overburden developers or officers and so work continues on developing the specific assessment. To give an idea of the type of detail which might come forward, we have set out the existing planning policies that currently address the headline topic and priority issue. The new Local Plan for Milton Keynes, Plan:MK was adopted by Milton Keynes Council at its meeting on the 20 March 2019, details of which can be found at Council 20 March 2019. The West Somerset Local Plan was adopted in November 2016. It is therefore considered important that a policy framework for a proposed NNB project at Oldbury should be developed in conjunction with the overall policy for South Gloucestershire, and that this policy should address ways of working as well as relevant considerations, constraints and opportunities relevant to the NNB. This will include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in our area over at least the next 15 years. Call for Sites outside of consultation periods. At the next consultation stage, we will set out if certain topic areas are likely to be addressed at a national rather than local level, and consider whether local level detail is still required. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure. 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. Proposals should be developed through early and effective engagement including with affected local communities and the Council. This policy will be applied in consideration of both on and off-site issues, including impacts arising as a result of the transport of radioactive waste off site. 22. http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. All development proposals must: Information proportionate to the scale of the development proposed must be submitted with any planning application to demonstrate how the proposal addresses climate change mitigation and adaptation. July to October 2020: Call for Sites invited, November 2020 to March 2021: Public consultation Phase 1 on issues and approaches, new approaches for urban and rural communities, and a draft planning policy to inform preparation of our new Local Plan 2020, February 2022 to April 2022: Public consultation Phase 2 including: Urban Lifestyles potential site allocations and employment areas in Urban Areas and within Market Towns potential approaches to rural growth Strategic Green Infrastructure Renewable Energy Areas draft planning policies for growth, protection, site proposals and place discussions. The National Planning Policy Framework makes clear that creating high quality buildings and places is fundamental to what the planning and development process should achieve. (The National Design Guide). It does not address the emissions that come from the construction phase of the development or the transport movements generated by a development. This means that where radioactive waste generation cannot be avoided or minimised at source, it will be disposed of in accordance with the relevant national policy and strategies. Through our active role in the West of England Combined Authority and the Western Gateway powerhouse, we have demonstrated how we can work effectively with neighbouring authorities and others to deliver improved outcomes for the wider region. As a council we have sometimes shied-away from highlighting the impacts of our work and what we have achieved, and at the heart of this plan is a new means of demonstrating how we are making a difference for you, delivering real value for money services. The most common technologies are solar PV and also solar thermal. People want to live here, move here, and start businesses and families here. We will continue to invest in them to ensure they can benefit from the same opportunities as any other young person. Since the disposal of radioactive waste on site is likely to constrain future land uses and activities and result in the need for security/regulation, waste management or disposal proposals should form an integral part of master planning for decommissioning of the site at Oldbury. However, the local planning authority may also highlight local issues and local planning policy that are considered to be important and relevant that the examining body can take into account when assessing and making recommendations on a DCO application.
PDF Candidate Information Earlier PSP plan documents and representations can be downloaded from our website. Different standards for different parts of the district? Passive Provision:Establishing all of the associated cables, chambers and junctions to allow for charging points to be installed without the need for undertaking works that require breaking ground. This may also be relevant to informing the Councils planning response to any consultations on consents, licenses or permits from other organisations, as well as in determining planning applications to South Gloucestershire Council. 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. 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. The development plan sets out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land in South Gloucestershire. The 10 characteristics from the NDG have been used to assist in the assessment of proposed design quality.
