Yet we also have attractive, safe communities with access to the city and open countryside. It sets out what development should happen where and protects important natural spaces, buildings and streets. The pace and scale of growth in recent years has presented new opportunities for our area, but also challenges. They are currently defined in policy PSP11 Transport Impact Management, the proposed new policy will eventually replace PSP11. This might include area-based masterplans, supplementary planning documents, or a further Local Plan policies document- similar to the approach taken with the existing Core Strategy and the PSP. Youve told us we need to have a greater focus on the Climate Emergency. 5) Uses, homes and buildingsDevelopments at any scale must function well and create positive and adaptable living environments. The management and/or disposal of wastes on site will only be acceptable where it is demonstrated that public and environmental safety is adequately and appropriately secured into the future through licensing, regulation and permitting from the relevant statutory body. A core group of Stroud District, Where we have emerging draft policies to share at this early stage, we have provided this in this table too. 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. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? These risks are likely to affect communities, businesses and infrastructure; health, well-being and productivity; water supply (for the public, agriculture, energy generation and industry), food production, and natural capital (which includes ecosystems, soils and biodiversity). Pro-actively address issues of public concern both actual and perceived. Ensure dovetailing of arrangements between the Magnox and NNB sites. Consider NNB Emergency Planning in the context of development proposals for the surrounding area. 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. South Gloucestershire is a diverse area consisting of the urban edges of Bristol, market towns and rural communities and the new approach seeks to create parking standards that reflect these diverse environments. A drop down menu will appear with address options. Pay it. For more information see our local plan review. 18. South Gloucestershire is well placed to take advantage of these opportunities, and is working with the other West of England authorities to achieve resilient, healthy, communities, an enriched environment, and a successful low carbon economy. Go back to the Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches document landing page. These groups bring different perspectives and additional local connections, strengthening our joint capabilities. Creating well-designed places requires an understanding of a wide range of principles, across numerous disciplines. Policy support is therefore provided to development proposals which generate energy from renewable or low carbon sources and infrastructure that helps with the transition towards a smart energy system. High streets, town and district centres, and local parades Uses and criteria, 53. Within the zones applications would need to be supported by an SGC Accessibility Assessment. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. Saved Policy CS4 Renewable or Low Carbon District Heat Networks will be addressed too. traffic or workers for a relatively short period of time. Decommissioning involves activities such as the removal and temporary storage and/or disposal of hazardous waste such as asbestos and radioactive waste, the rationalisation of buildings and reuse of land for activities relating to of decommissioning, and the demolition of those that are no longer needed. It sets stringent standards on energy consumption for heating and overall energy demand, and also sets design requirements to control the quality of the internal environment. This could include the provision of new facilities or the upgrading of existing. The information that applicants will need to provide must, as a minimum: Core Strategy Policy CS3 Renewable and low carbon energy generation, Partial replacement of CS4 Renewable or low carbon district heat networks. Clause 1b requires the residual heat demand of a development to be met through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat source. There are approximately 6,000 children living in poverty in South Gloucestershire, a statistic which goes to the heart of our priority to invest in education and skills, tackle inequality and create the best start in life for our children and young people. This is currently scheduled to take place in late 2023. Clauses 2 and 3 of the policy set out specific on-site requirements. Clause 1a refers to the identification of suitable areas. 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. A Technical Guidance document will be prepared to accompany the local plan to set out how the policy requirements of the Climate Change Policy can be achieved. To do this, we have set out an overarching policy on climate change, which aims to ensure that climate change is considered at the beginning of the decision making process when the concept of a new development, including its location and design, is considered. 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. You can get information on their website. 5. We offer an advice service for developers and landowners to meet with us to discuss your Local Plan representations. 4. We have a flourishing local economy and high levels of employment and want to proactively support high potential future-facing industries. The map below shows the indicative areas that will require an SGC Accessibility Assessment. We must ensure we are reaching all members of our community and key to this will be strengthening our relationships with town and parish councils and the voluntary and community sectors. You can access the document and information produced to support the Phase 2 document below. There are many strands to the inequality challenge and we must work with partners in health and education, with voluntary and community groups and directly with local people to first identify those at greatest need and to then put in place timely and appropriate support, ensuring that mechanisms, guidance and pathways to further education, employment and career progression etc. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? Firstly, the need to ensure that energy consumption is minimised through building and site level design measures must be addressed. Topic-based policies might also cover detailed issues, like transport management, or how standards in relation to carbon reduction in new developments are required, or specific design principles in relation to extensions. This will come forward in later stages of the plan. South Gloucestershire Council has decided to join Bath & North East Somerset and Bristol city councils in pressing on with their Local Plans after metro mayor Dan Norris told the Government in May . The Policy seeks to ensure that new development (residential and non-residential) is built to high energy efficiency standards, uses renewable heating and cooling systems, and incorporates renewable energy generation. 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. 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. This is available for 290 plus VAT (as of April 2022) and is subject to us considering it is appropriate. The council is currently working on a new Local Plan. Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) and related development, 12. Age UK South Gloucestershire is an independent local charity with its own locally elected board of trustees and is part of the Age UK network. Mineral Extraction, Working and Restoration, 11. Any such fund would be used to off-set the burden on the locality, and would identify potential legacy uses, including transport, social, economic, environmental and community infrastructure which would benefit the community in the long term. We want to promote healthy lifestyles by controlling the number and type of new takeaways near schools by updating our existing approach set out in policy PSP35 (Food and Drink Uses). Good quality and positive existing trees and vegetation should be retained and protected; c) Where appropriate, well-located, attractive, and safe open spaces and play areas, which enhance social interaction and which offer opportunities for formal and informal play and rest, should be provided; d) Where appropriate, site-specific public art features are provided, in order to add visual and cultural interest, and to create a connection to the sites history, existing landscape or built qualities; e) Boundary treatments and any interfaces between public and private areas are robust and built to be long-lasting, define the public realm, clearly establish the difference between public and private spaces, and avoids small areas of incidental open spaces; and. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO), Residential Conversions and Sub-Divisions, 48. Do you have any suggestions as to how we can safeguard areas where there is potential for renewable energy generation (demonstrated through the RERAS) from sterilisation by other types of development/ land uses? We have started exploring how we might approach new strategies and policies for growth (set out in section 5: Building a Strategy) but we are very much at the beginning of this process. 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. We are considering how to safeguard areas that have renewable energy potential from development that may sterilise the resource. 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. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) The siting, form, scale, height, massing, detailing, colour and materials of the development respect, and are informed by, the positive locally-distinctive qualities of both the site and its surrounding context; and. Some areas have relatively poor access to higher level job opportunities, and low-level attainment and skills. The following list is based on input from consultation, engagement and topic-based assessments of existing knowledge of the site and large scale NNB proposals at other sites. The order of themes, issues constraints and opportunities set out in the table below does not at this stage infer relative priority at this stage In order to ensure the sustainability of development proposals and appropriate impact assessments, themes, issues and schemes should be considered in the round and cumulatively across the different topic areas set out below. We will develop our partnerships and networks to engage directly with the most vulnerable in our communities, allowing us to better hear the voices of harder to reach groups, so we can have more meaningful conversations with them to understand their needs and can work with them in co-producing services. South Gloucestershire New Local Plan We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. 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. Beyond secondary education we will work closely with local colleges and universities to ensure further and higher education offers are accessible to young people and that local provision is sufficient to meet the needs of all new entrants and those seeking places to re-train and re-skill. Select the one which you are looking for and the map will automatically zoom and centre on this location. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire, called the Local Plan 2020. Relevant aspects of proposed policy on decommissioning will be expected to inform the establishment of those principles. 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. 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. We want to promote the extension of this local commitment to community and publicise the value of that collective approach. Satisfaction in the area79% of local people are satisfied with their area. 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 . Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? Recent updates to national legislation has resulted in changes to the Use Classes Order. 2. 21. The South Kesteven Local Plan sets out the vision, objectives, spatial strategy and policies for the future development of the district. In order to have sufficient information to be able to assess the complex effects that can arise from NSIPs over the significant number of years of construction and operation, plans for monitoring of the effects of the project should be set out in the Environmental Statement. The changes to the Order specifically relates to the way that retail, employment and leisure uses are classified. 23. The emerging policy on radioactive waste is also of particular relevance to the development of a masterplan for decommissioning. 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. The tables link each policy to one of our emerging plan priorities, for example, exceptional spaces and places. It also requires, where any residual carbon emissions remain, contributions towards carbon offsetting projects in the local area. It is no surprise then that demand for housing is high and increasing. By focusing our efforts on education and skills for both children and adults we can have greatest impact in tackling inequality. It will include where. This Phase 1. This form of parking solution will therefore only be acceptable where significant and direct overlooking from habitable rooms of properties is provided and where other more secure solutions are not possible due to site constraints. You can read more in the Action Plans 1 6 document. Emissions come from the transportation and materials used in the construction process, as well as the emissions from the operation and use of the development throughout its expected lifetime, including the emissions from the travel movements of users. 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. role as consultee on the DCO and the preparation of a Local Impact Report;iii. The following policy therefore addresses only the planning aspects of radioactive waste proposals. It is important that as much is done on-site as possible to minimise energy demand, and maximise renewable energy use and generation. 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. It is only in the development of flats where evidence has shown that it may be more difficult to meet a higher on-site target, so in these cases a 35% on-site target is set instead. 28. As a comparator that indicates the likely scale and complexity of large scale NNB, recent proposals for Wylfa Newydd on the Isle of Anglesey indicate: A nominated 236ha site, and a total site development/ construction area of 409ha Estimated 9 year construction period, and 60 years operation, 20 years decommissioning Design parameters for aspects of the development, with later details to be approved by the local authority A theoretical maximum of 9000 construction workers at peak 850 permanent jobs plus 1000 for periodic reactor maintenance On site accommodation for up to 4000 construction workers, Park and Ride for 1900 cars, and a logistics centre with capacity for up to 100 HGV Diversion of the coastal path inland around the NNB site Extensive on site landscaped areas plus off site ecological compensation areas Long term radioactive waste and spent fuel stores Site preparation and online highway improvement applications to the local authority. The visual implications of any proposals for change would need to be carefully considered. Take an approach to project engagement, assessment, negotiations and consultation responses that is proportionate to the nature, scale, complexity and implications of the project for South Gloucestershire and its communities. Local economic and community benefits should be maximised through agreement and early implementation of social, education, training, economic, environmental and transport strategies. These documents contain a. At this stage, the intention is for all of these policies to be contained within a single Local Plan Document. We've been working in the local community to help older people for over 25 years. But we have also drawn on the opportunities that have emerged from the emergency response to the pandemic in looking forward to the new norm; identifying new and better ways to keep residents informed, and working with individuals and groups who have stepped up during this time to help communities play an active role in finding local answers to local issues. 30. 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. Priority 2 Identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselves. This masterplan should set the overall strategy for the site, and provide the context for more detailed development proposals. In terms of mitigating or limiting the impacts from solar gain in developments, relatively straightforward design solutions exist, such as incorporating bris soleil, projecting canopies or the planting of deciduous trees. The Phase 2 consultation ran from 7 February 2022 to 4 April 2022. Housing developments must be tenure blind/inclusive, with the same attention to detail and use of high-quality materials and boundary treatments used in affordable housing provision as market housing. The segregated areas also allow consideration of sheltered provision, Urban Lifestyle and Accessibility Approach. 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. The need to protect habitats and species associated with the international designations on the estuary, including the seasonal presence of migratory species, may also constrain the timing, phasing and nature of decommissioning related activities and works. Given the importance of decommissioning, it is recognised that priority should be given to uses that facilitate the decommissioning of the existing station. Geographical Coverage : Whole of South Gloucestershire. Pollution We are committed to reducing. We will enable a low carbon, climate and ecologically resilient district through our policies, programmes, and decision-making. You can also register for updates by emailingpolicy.consultation@southglos.gov.uk. We agree that action on the climate and our environment is a fundamental challenge which must inform and influence all our priorities and commitments.In 2019 we declared a Climate Emergency, pledging to lead the way in moving South Gloucestershire to carbon neutrality by 2030. Communities are becoming more aware of the need for renewable energy development proposals in light of climate change and the move towards a low carbon economy. Unlike for example domestic waste streams, radioactive waste from a nuclear power station is not generated by that local community, it is generated by that national infrastructure facility and any on site disposal would again be hosted by that local community on behalf of the nation. Town and Parish Councils are integral to community engagement. We will continue to invest in them to ensure they can benefit from the same opportunities as any other young person. Junction 12 (Gloucester fringe) and M5 Junction 14 (located within South Gloucestershire). The greater focus and specific action plans that flow from the Council Plan will accelerate our work and highlight where we can take further positive steps to protect and enhance our natural environment, delivering improvements to residents health and wellbeing and show that economic regeneration can enable people and nature to thrive. The council plays a pivotal role in supporting the lives of those in the care system, acting as corporate parent for young people who have had an extremely difficult start in life. Satisfying the detailed requirements set out in policies, such as Energy Management in New Development and Creating well-designed places, will also help demonstrate compliance with the overarching climate change policy. But please see the Building a Strategy, Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve rural communities, Draft policy not yet available. This includes the integration where feasible of NNB with the decommissioning of the existing station, including the reuse of previously developed land, facilities and materials thereby reducing the extent of greenfield land needed for NNB and minimising the scale and extent of built form in the rural Levels and estuary landscape and seascape. If the Council is to effectively respond and successfully engage with developers on behalf of our communities in respect of major infrastructure proposals, this is likely to require significant resources beyond the capacity of the Council. Proposals will be considered more favourably where they achieve 2 or more of the following criteria: a. We will build on this strength, forging new partnerships and enhancing established relationships. 65. Given the importance of decommissioning the existing station, and the potential benefits of reusing the brownfield land to reduce the overall impact of NNB, when considering land use proposals at the existing Oldbury power station site, priority will sequentially be given to meeting the needs of: Decommissioning; Nuclear new build proposals; Other employment and/or green energy related uses. 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. 1) Context and IdentityPara 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires that developments are, sympathetic to local character and history, including the surrounding built environment and landscape setting, while not preventing or discouraging appropriate innovation or change (such as increased densities).. In the longer term land that will be needed for long term site clearance related activity, but in the interim may potentially become available for beneficial temporary uses. 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. Given the proximity to the estuary, due consideration must also be given to impacts on designations and protected species, including in relation to the timing of works and any potential for disturbance. Where appropriate serviced land is left in a condition suitable for a future agreed use; oriii. 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. Where visual screening is required for construction operations, advance planting schemes may be required. The East Fringe spans from the M32 eastwards, towards Downend, along the A4174 corridor to Hanham and Willsbridge. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? We have a strong track record of managing our finances and achieving savings, whilst continuing to deliver high quality, value for money services. 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). Current Parking Standards in South Gloucestershire can be found in the Policies, Sites and Places Plan PSP16 Parking Standards with elements in the Core Strategy policy CS8 and further detail in the Residential Parking Supplementary Planning Document. Further information on the NSIP process, including relevant legislation, guidance advice and roles of the various parties may be found on the Planning Inspectorates website. 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. The following tables provide the range of policies which we intend to include in our Local Plan 2020. Our Local Plan evidence base includes documents related to the new Local Plan, including recent and forthcoming new evidence and background information supporting the Phase 2 consultation. 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. The fund will be spent on low carbon projects within South Gloucestershire, such as renewable energy schemes, retrofitting of existing housing stock. At least one parking space per dwelling must have active charging provision, with the remainder passive provision. Given the scale, complexity and duration of larger NSIPs, mechanisms and contingencies to enable the modification of mitigation to address unanticipated project impacts. The Council proposes that developments within the urban zone (seen on the indicative map below) must submit a SGC Accessibility Assessment. Development delivers design quality, including making a positive contribution to sustainability objectives, climate change resilience, and delivers biodiversity net gain. The Policies, Sites and Places (PSP) plan forms part of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan, together with the Core Strategy and Joint Waste Core Strategy. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) A layout, form and mix of uses is established which reduces resource requirements, both during construction and operation, and which contributes to the creation of compact and walkable neighbourhoods. This will allow the council time to understand the potential impacts these changes may have. The Local Plan 2020 will shape our district for the next 15 years. Car ownershipLevels of car ownership and commuting are high. 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. 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. 24. 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. The plan comprises a number of separate documents: Core Strategy. Small modular reactors are understood to occupy approximately 10% of the footprint of a large scale NNB. 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. And in identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselves, we hope to raise living standards for the most disadvantaged. Planning policies also safeguard and seek to enhance our green infrastructure, biodiversity, historic assets and buildings, and unique areas of character across the authority. Given the uncertainties that arise due to the scale complexity and duration of a NNB, a Community Impact Mitigation Fund will be necessary to address to address unforeseen changes in context and impacts that may arise over the lengthy construction and operational phases.
