south gloucestershire local plan

After consultation with a scheme promoter and other relevant parties and as appropriate to the scale of development proposed, prepare a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) to provide more detailed and/or site specific guidance to inform the Councils: i. pre-and post-application engagement and consultation responses;ii. 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. Specific on-site requirements for Major Non- Residential Development. The contribution is calculated at 95 per tonne of carbon per year for 30 years. Updated technical guidance will be prepared by the Council to accompany the policy and explain how we expect applicants to demonstrate that their development proposals comply with the policy requirements. South Gloucestershire Council to drop regional growth plan 15 January 2020 Getty Images The regional scheme outlined plans for 105,000 new homes A second council is set to abandon the joint. In considering proposals relating to radioactive waste the Council will have regard to other relevant guidance and policy including for example on the waste hierarchy, the proximity principle (see: Planning Portal definition of Proximity Principle), a masterplan for decommissioning the Oldbury site, as well as assessments of the potential impact in the wider community and environment, including those arising from alternative disposal routes. Priority 1 Creating the best start in life for our children and young peoplePriority 2 Identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselvesPriority 3 Promoting sustainable inclusive communities, infrastructure, and growthPriority 4 Realising the full potential of our people and delivering value for money. Many of our school-leavers and graduates choose to stay here and the area is also convenient for commuting to surrounding cities and further afield. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is clear in that Permission should be refused for development of poor design that fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions. This current policy applies a district wide standard for bicycle and car parking spaces for residential properties. Parking to fronts should be enhanced by the use of finer paving materials and attention to landscaping between spaces essentially creating good driveways. Legibility, or the understanding of a place, can be created by sequences of natural or built landmark features, and by ensuring that views through a site terminate at landmarks, such as a mature tree or interesting new faade. All of these documents are used by. Conservation Area Appraisals, Village Design Statements and The South Gloucestershire Landscape Character Assessment may, where available, in the vicinity of a development, also provide good sources of information that assist in discerning such distinctive local character. The masterplan will provide a clear and consistent framework, to ensure that each application can be considered in the context of delivering on the overarching proposals for the Oldbury site. The four West of England unitary authorities(South Gloucestershire, Bristol City, Bath & North East Somerset & North Somerset Councils) adopted the Joint Waste Core Strategy on 25 March 2011. For non- residential development, only one policy option is presented which requires 100% reduction in carbon emissions (net zero carbon) arising from regulated energy use. 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. We have comparable relationships with Health Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups to identify health and well-being priorities but also extend this co-working to Friends of community park and asset groups so that we can support community activities and classes, but also share expertise and evidence that supports a broad range of future-funding proposals. The following hierarchy helps explain the approach to cooling required: The use of air conditioning systems is not a sustainable cooling option and should be avoided as it exacerbates carbon dioxide emissions and overheating risks. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? This stage of the plan does not contain individual sites. Please refer to the map under Schedule A which outlines indicatively where these zones could be. Achieving these and other priorities will require new policies which update and eventually replace our adopted policies. Note: Regulations are continuously reviewed and the status of the site may change in future. 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. 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. We will enable a low carbon, climate and ecologically resilient district through our policies, programmes, and decision-making. Given the scale, complexity and duration of larger NSIPs, mechanisms and contingencies to enable the modification of mitigation to address unanticipated project impacts. Proposals for waste management or disposal should form an integral part of the strategic decommissioning masterplan for the Oldbury site, in accordance with emerging Local Plan 2020 policy. Our most important resource is our people, and we must maintain and build on our inclusive and supportive culture and working environment and positively promote equalities throughout everything we do. In terraced houses, space for the storage of a range of waste and recycling bins or containers, can be successfully integrated into the fronts of properties, in screened storage structures, which can also be integrated within porch canopies, also providing bike storage and electrical car-charging cables. Select any property or area of the District and find out about planning policies and planning restrictions that affect it. 4) Nature and public spacesDevelopment proposal(s) will be expected to protect and enhance the natural environment and its features of landscape, nature conservation, heritage, or amenity value, particularly in the AONB, in and around designated national and local sites. Monitoring and review arrangements for both the construction and operational phases of the NNB. Where visual screening is required for construction operations, advance planting schemes may be required. Strategic policies are those necessary to address the overarching priorities for the area, including policies that address cross-boundary issues. 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. Emissions are produced at all phases of the development process, including embodied carbon in the materials used, the construction process, and the operational phase. Flood riskExtensive areas subject to flood risk. Mitigation primarily means minimising greenhouse gas emissions from the development. The existing and future development potential of adjoining sites, or the potential for the area to achieve a coherent, interconnected, and integrated built form, must not be prejudiced by proposals. The Office of Nuclear Regulation land use planning advice in respect of emergency planning around nuclear sites including Oldbury may be found at: http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm, ONR regulations covering arrangements for the surrounding area Potential public perceptions regarding safetyRelationship to Emergency Planning arrangements for the existing Magnox station. The local authority is also responsible for discharging Requirements (akin to planning conditions) following the grant of a Development Consent Order. Pay it. We would like your feedback on whether we have provided the correct range of policies that we will need in the future to guide development and create exceptional places and spaces within existing and new communities. One of the key aims of the Local Plan will be to allocate sites for the new homes, jobs, infrastructure, services and facilities that will be needed in South Gloucestershire. We have a strong track record of managing our finances and achieving savings, whilst continuing to deliver high quality, value for money services. The zones are areas of the district considered to have a high level of access to services and facilities and high level of public transport connections. It can also bring wider environmental and economic benefits, and improve the security of our energy supply. There are a wide range of built and landscape characters which exist within South Gloucestershire, ranging from mature urban locations, such as, Staple Hill, Kingswood, Hanham, post war suburban areas such as Filton, Bradley Stoke, newer communities at Charlton Hayes and Stoke Gifford, market Towns with different characters and wide range of villages set within different rural contexts. A heat network (also known as district heating) refers to a network of insulated pipes, pumps, controls and thermal storage, used to transfer heat, as hot water, from a heat source to buildings and locations where it will be used. For both residential and non-residential development, a sequential approach is set out in Clause 1 of the policy to guide the steps needed to achieve the 100% carbon emissions reduction requirement. For these applications, consistency with the Development Consent Order and relevant certified documentation is the primary consideration, but national and local policy may also be relevant. Core Strategy Policy CS37 Nuclear Related Development (partial)Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP46: Oldbury New Nuclear Build (NNB). We recognise that council services are increasingly funded by council tax and business rates, which is why value for money plays such an important role in our decision-making. In December 2019, the average price paid for a residential property in South Gloucestershire was 275,000, which is considerably higher than the regional (South West) and national (England) averages (253,000 and 243,950 respectively). Town and Parish Councils are integral to community engagement. Whilst this table sets out a range of issues known at this time, with such long construction and operational phases, it is recognised that there may be changes in the wider and/or local socio economic and environmental context of a NNB project, and also that aspects of the project design may evolve. A total population of 285,100 in 2019 which is projected to rise to 354,300 in 2043. We host key junctions for five motorways, both Severn crossings, have high speed rail lines to London and South Wales and have a large international port and airport nearby. This policy is also supported by the emerging Urban Lifestyles approach, which aims to make efficient use of land in urban areas, by optimising development. An appropriately governed Community Fund should be established to provide positive financial support for projects that improve the amenity, accessibility and social infrastructure of the Oldbury site environs. 4. In order to deliver effective mitigation and/or compensation measures must be commensurate with the scale and impact of the development. Go to South Gloucestershire Council. We need to respond to messages emerging in the wake of Covid-19, for example, ensuring that people have sufficient space to accommodate members of their household and work from home without having to move, whilst protecting residential amenity. Area Specific: Planning for the North Fringe of the Bristol Urban Area. And fulfilling the Councils post consent role, including in determining: Planning applications for Oldbury New Nuclear Build power station, related development made to the Council Post consent applications for discharge of DCO requirements and planning conditions. The criteria and expectations in relation to the use of resources, materials and re-use of buildings will be contained in a proposed new policy Sustainable Design and Construction, which will be brought forward in future stages of the Local Plan 2020. 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. Therefore, specific minimum targets for energy efficiency and on-site measures are set out in Clauses 2 and 3. Renewable and/or low carbon energy supplies include, but not exclusively, those from biomass and energy crops, combined heat and power, waste heat from industrial processes, energy from waste, ground, water and air source heating and cooling, hydro, solar thermal, solar photovoltaic generation and wind power. Local Plan 2018 - 2036. We have also suggested nine priorities to address these issues. In addition, in order for relevant stakeholders, including local communities, to be able to understand how a NSIP is performing over time against all KPIs and relevant measures secured in the DCO and accompanying documents, monitoring against KPIs should be published annually on a project monitoring web site and a paper copy deposited in a suitable local publicly accessible venue. Our priority is that this best start in life is available for all children although we recognise that we need to offer bespoke support for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.

Although the current climate would suggest that this may be a reversing trend it is also clear that for many, the private car will remain the primary option of travel in the short to medium term at least. Promoters wishing to submit call for sites outside of a formal consultation period or to submit additional technical information to support their existing call for sites should contact our Planning Policy Team using the details below. Strategic travel and transport schemes, 15. The aim of this design policy is to shape and direct development proposals to create resilient and exceptional places, spaces, and buildings in South Gloucestershire. Food and Drink Uses: Locational Constraints (including schools), 31. It also requires, where any residual carbon emissions remain, contributions towards carbon offsetting projects in the local area. The development plan sets out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land in South Gloucestershire. They should aim to make use of renewable energy infrastructures, such as photovoltaic arrays, ground source heat pumps and district heating systems, to reduce demand for non-sustainable energy sources. If so, there will be a charge of 290 plus VAT. We also want to make sure that new development goes further to reducing the amount of carbon required to heat and run new homes by eventually replacing policy CS3 (Renewable and low carbon energy generation) and PSP6 (Onsite renewable and low carbon energy), with new further reaching standards, as we aim for zero carbon development. 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. 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. 6) Resources and lifespanThe conservation of natural resources, including land, water, energy and materials in buildings and development, will form part of the strategy to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, helping to provide well-designed places over the longer-term. 31. It is also important that the SGC Accessibility Assessment does not overburden developers or officers and so work continues on developing the specific assessment. Youve told us we need to have a greater focus on the Climate Emergency. This approach can have significant visual, community and conservation benefits. The changes to the Order specifically relates to the way that retail, employment and leisure uses are classified. These should consider not only the individual effects of the proposals, but also any cumulative effects. But please see the Building a Strategy, Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve rural communities, Draft policy not yet available. Carbon offsetting through a contribution to the carbon offsetting fund is only expected in cases where residual carbon emissions cannot practically be met on-site. Planning law requires that planning decisions are made in accordance with the Council's Development Plan. High streets, town and district centres, and local parades Uses and criteria, 53. 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. This will include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in our area over at least the next 15. We also recognise that there are smaller cohorts of Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic children and children from the gypsy and traveller community facing an even larger gap in attainment. What are strategic and non-strategic policies? Climate change is happening now and is the biggest challenge facing our society. In August 2020, the Government released a Planning White Paper for consultation which proposes significant changes to the Planning system. Also, you told us that we need to continue with our long-standing commitment to target support towards those who are most vulnerable, disadvantaged or disconnected from our services by whatever means. It will address the issues set out in the table above, providing where appropriate the Councils initial views on constraints and where possible potential planning, design, mitigation, legacy and community benefit opportunities that align with wider strategies, objectives and policies for the Council area. Local economic and community benefits should be maximised through agreement and early implementation of social, education, training, economic, environmental and transport strategies. National Policy Statement (NPS) EN-6 identifies an approximately 150 hectare (ha) site near Oldbury on Severn as being potentially suitable for the development of a nuclear new build power station (NNB). Where appropriate serviced land is left in a condition suitable for a future agreed use; oriii. The visual implications of any proposals for change would need to be carefully considered. The Local Plan 2020 will shape our district for the next 15 years. They have a role to play not just at the West of England scale but also at the local level, where they can provide a space-efficient alternative to driving, where walking, cycling and public transport trips are not possible. The provisions and requirements set out in this policy will ensure all development meets a high level of design quality, addresses the Climate Emergency and leads to more sustainable development, places and spaces. 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. Often, adaptation measures do not just mitigate potential harm, but also offer beneficial opportunities a single measure can satisfy several policy requirements. The built environment is estimated to account for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. This is currently scheduled to take place in late 2023. 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. The 10 characteristics (except built form and movement) have been grouped into related pairs: 1) Context local and wider context, heritage, local history and culture, 2) Identity creating and responding to local character and identity, 3) Built form compact development, appropriate building types and forms, destinations, 4) Movement integrated networks for all travel modes, hierarchy of streets, parking and utilities, 5) Nature green open spaces, landscape variety, play, water management, biodiversity, 6) Public spaces well-located and attractive spaces, safety, social interaction, 7) Uses uses mix, range of home tenures, types and sizes, socially inclusive, 8) Homes & buildings healthy, comfortable and safe, external amenity, detailing, waste provision, 9) Resources energy hierarchy, materials and techniques, maximise resilience, 10) Lifespan management and maintenance, adaptability, evolving technologies, sense of ownership. 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. About the council. Mechanisms therefore need to be put in place to accommodate flexibilities while also ensuring that mitigation measures can be adapted or modified to address any impacts arising from those changes. Therefore, this policy draws on and supports a wide range of emerging plan priorities, other emerging policies in the Local Plan 2020, area based objectives, as well as the supporting planning documents. However, given the sensitive location, scale and complexity of the proposed NNB development and its potential for broad ranging negative impacts particularly on local communities, transport infrastructure and the environment, the Council will seek to ensure that: 1.
