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. Core Strategy Policy CS37 Nuclear Related Development (partial)Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP46: Oldbury New Nuclear Build (NNB). The Council acknowledges the potential for NNB to deliver low carbon energy and high quality education, training, supply chain and employment opportunities and will work with a project promoter to maximise benefits and legacy for local communities and businesses. They are currently defined in policy PSP11 Transport Impact Management, the proposed new policy will eventually replace PSP11. This will come forward in later stages of the plan. These targets are necessary to help slow down the warming of the Earth and reduce the severity of the impacts of climate change. Flood riskExtensive areas subject to flood risk. The following tables set out the types of policies we currently hope to include in our new Local Plan. 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. 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. One of the proposals includes reducing the number of policies at the Local Plan level and creating new national planning policies to cover key topics. 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. Proposals seeking to follow this route will be required to provide evidence from a Passivhaus Certifier that the proposed design would be capable of and is expected to achieve the full certified Passivhaus standard, and incorporate renewable heating and renewable energy generation technology, in order to be net zero carbon. South Gloucestershire has the opportunity to increase renewable energy generation and facilitate development to enable a more flexible, smart, decentralised energy system. In the last two years, we have seen a 5% increase in assessments for adult social care. 3. How will we know what level of parking provision is suitable on a site within the zone? 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. 32. The fourth part of the sequential approach is for renewable energy generation technologies to be incorporated into development proposals as much as possible as set out in Clause 1d. However, given the timeframes involved, such wastes would not be expected to arise until well beyond the current Local Plan period. 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 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. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure. Where such potential may reasonably exist, including on sites with different use or ownership, development will be expected to either progress with a comprehensive scheme or, by means of its layout and form, enable a co-ordinated approach to be adopted towards adjoining sites future development. priorities set out in the Council Plan (adopted 2020); declaration of a Climate Emergency on 17 July 2019; the Covid-19 pandemic and the impacts this has had on communities, the health services and the economy; updates to the National Planning Policy Framework in 2019 with more expected to come forward in the next few years; there have been, and will continue to be, updates to National Planning Policy Guidance which supports the NPPF; and. The South Gloucestershire policies map is an interactive map that displays the policies of the development plan. An example of this is our current work with the South Gloucestershire Tec Arc, a cluster of world-leading business and research institutions from the Bristol and Bath Science Park and National Composites Centre at Emersons Green, through the University of the West of England and Bristol Robotics Laboratory at Frenchay to the aerospace and engineering businesses of the Filton Enterprise Area. Early discussions on large scale NNB proposals indicated that a further 150ha approximately will be required for construction purposes, plus additional off site associated infrastructure and development. 65. The charity makes a positive contribution to the lives of hundreds of older people in South Gloucestershire every week. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved over recent years, continuing to offer high quality services at a time when we have delivered over a hundred million pounds in annual savings. Therefore, proposals for the management and storage of radioactive waste would form part of any application for the project. 7. Clearly defined socio economic, environmental health and biophysical key performance indicators (KPIs) should be set out against which monitoring will be undertaken and reported. This includes pre-treatment, conditioning and decay storage processes prior to disposal to reduce the hazardous activity and volume of LLW and higher activity waste (HAW) in accordance with the principles of the waste hierarchy. 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. The Core Strategy was adopted on 11 December 2013. 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. These shifting patterns make it more important to create well-designed living environments, with good storage spaces, natural light and views, with access to a range of quality private and public open spaces and public realm. Relevant aspects of proposed policy on decommissioning will be expected to inform the establishment of those principles. Contributions to the Local Authority and/or other appropriate and agreed organisations to mitigate or where appropriate offset any adverse impacts, additional demands and/or harm caused by the project. 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. This current policy applies a district wide standard for bicycle and car parking spaces for residential properties. Whilst we have seen strong performance from children and young people at some levels, overall, we recognise a distinct attainment challenge. We have delivered thousands of new homes to help meet current requirements, but demand is set to intensify further over the coming years. 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. 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. Decommissioning of nuclear sites and release from regulation July 2018, Planning Portal definition of Proximity Principle. 22. Policy Option 1: Net zero carbon (100% reduction in carbon emissions) from regulated energy use;or Policy Option 2: Net zero carbon (100% reduction in carbon emissions) from regulated and unregulated energy use. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? The Council would expect NNB related applications to comprise an integrated, navigable suite of documentation including well defined proposals and parameters defining the proposed development, and including clearly identified mitigation, monitoring and management plans demonstrating how all relevant matters identified in the table of Themes, Issues and Constraints have been taken into account and addressed. 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. Population 63% of the population live in the urban area, 17% in market towns and 20% in villages and rural areas. 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. As part of this Phase 1 Issues and Approaches consultation document, we want to set out the range of policies we think will be required and which local plan priority they would assist in achieving. Infrastructure for telecommunications, 64. The changes to the Order specifically relates to the way that retail, employment and leisure uses are classified. A strong commitment to equality of opportunity, value for money and transitioning to a low carbon future will flow through everything we do and will form the basis of an overarching plan developed with our key local partners. 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. Often, adaptation measures do not just mitigate potential harm, but also offer beneficial opportunities a single measure can satisfy several policy requirements. 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. The West Somerset Local Plan was adopted in November 2016. Local Plan 2018 - 2036. 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. 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. http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. Our priorities are brought to life through a package of 20 commitments. 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. For example, given the need to raise awareness of business opportunities to ensure that local companies can meet the requirements of the nuclear industry; as well as the need to ensure the availability of suitably qualified workforce both for construction and operation, early engagement in the pre-application phase will be required in respect of eduction, training, skills and supply chain strategies. A range of other policies in the Local Plan 2020 will provide further detail and clarification to many of the points contained in this policy. The following tables provide the range of policies which we intend to include in our Local Plan 2020. Youve told us we need to have a greater focus on the Climate Emergency. 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. This is available for 290 plus VAT (as of April 2022) and is subject to us considering it is appropriate. 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. South Gloucestershire is a great place to live, work and visit. But please see the Building a Strategy, Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve Severnside. Any proposal to dispose of such waste on site will require planning consent as well as consent from the Environment Agency. The document includes a set of planning policies for the parts of the area outside Exmoor National Park. Whilst we are exploring innovative digital methods by which to present our services and engage local people, we recognise the value of continued face-to-face conversations and maximising the involvement of community-based groups. Earlier PSP plan documents and representations can be downloaded from our website. This Plan has considered the context of the significant challenges that were evident long before Covid-19; such as the scale of the inequality gap across our communities, the distinct attainment challenge for our children and young people, and the co-ordinated, multi-dimensional approach we need to put into action to deliver on our climate emergency commitments. The Local plan includes policies for deciding planning applications in Bristol. 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. Locations which are highly accessible and provided with public transport options, and close to employment, shops and services, are being investigated as part of this process. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? However, other technologies would be welcome too where appropriate. 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. The plan comprises a number of separate documents: The Core Strategy document sets out a vision for future development in South Gloucestershire to 2027. 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. Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO), Residential Conversions and Sub-Divisions, 48. 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. By providing an early view on potential constraints and opportunities, this will inform the preparation of an evidence base to underpin the preparation of an SPD, the development of positive and sustainable development proposals for the NNB and its associated development. Such assessments should be comprehensive and address the evolution of the projects impact over key phases of construction, operation, decommissioning and restoration. Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, 7. You need to pay in advance using the online payment system. South Gloucestershire is a safe, healthy and affluent district with high levels of employment. We are enhancing our Keep it Local approach and the way we work with communities so you have a greater say in the issues which are important to you and take more responsibility for what goes on in your area. What is the current approach to Parking Standards? Since adoption of the Core Strategy and PSP, we have begun to see new evidence, approaches and priorities emerge that will eventually require new planning policies. 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. 2) Built formThe design and placement of built forms defines spaces and has a significant impact on peoples daily lives. Through the likes of the innovation cluster that identifies as the South Gloucestershire Tec Arc, through the emergence of unique leisure experiences in the North Fringe, through our market towns and rural tranquillity, but also our transport and digital connectivity; we have virtues that we are keen to promote. Mineral Extraction, Working and Restoration, 11. 2) Built formThe layout and form of the development must combine to form a well-designed and legible environment, which is attractive and functions well for all users. Any updates to local priorities, national planning policy and legislation, as well as new information relating to the SDS, will also inform the drafting of more detailed policies. We have local and national targets for reducing carbon emissions and increasing renewable energy generation that must be met. The existing nuclear power station at Oldbury ceased generation in 2012, and is now being decommissioned. 20. South Gloucestershire encompasses large areas of distinctive and high quality built and natural/rural landscape, which should be safeguarded and enhanced, and where possible, incorporated into development proposals. 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. However, at this stage we think it is important to set out the range of policies we think are needed in our new Local Plan. If you require assistance in accessing or using the interactive map, contact the Strategic Planning Policy and Specialist Advice Team on 01454 866015 or emailPlanningPolicy@southglos.gov.uk. More information on the RESPD can be found here. agriculture, industrial, business and/or residential use. This policy will be applied in conjunction with other relevant policies in this plan, in particular policies on NSIPs, new nuclear development and decommissioning. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 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. Future stages of the Local Plan are being planned to progress alongside the Spatial Development Strategy (SDS) and more details will be provided as the SDS reaches criticial milestones. Locals have their say on where Bristol's boundaries end Bradley Stoke Bookmark New train station. Suitable disposal options will also need to be appropriately regulated and controlled and comply with other relevant plans, such as the West of England Joint Waste Core Strategy. 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. 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. Updated National Planning Policy Framework in 2019; Climate emergency declared nationally and in South Gloucestershire with a focus to decarbonise travel and reduce reliance on private car journeys in carbonised vehicles; Levels of car ownership and commuting are high, creating congestion; Improving air quality across South Gloucestershire especially in declared Air Quality Management Areas; New advancements in electric vehicle and other technology making these options more viable; and There is a need to make the most efficient use of land, particularly in our urban areas. Non-strategic policies deal with detailed matters, like locational principles and place specific requirements. 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 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. Julie Close, Chief Executive, Southern Brooks Community Partnerships and Chair, South Gloucestershire Equalities Forum. It does not address the emissions that come from the construction phase of the development or the transport movements generated by a development. The Councils evidence shows that on certain sites and types of development much higher standards can be achieved on-site, and this will be encouraged. We have a strong track record of managing our finances and achieving savings, whilst continuing to deliver high quality, value for money services. 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. This could include the provision of new facilities or the upgrading of existing. Core Strategy Policy CS1 (High Quality Design) &Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP1 (Local Distinctiveness). Given the length of time before decommissioning takes place, and the potential for changes in circumstance and socio economic and environmental circumstance, the Council will expect to see the preferred principles for decommissioning set out along with the firm plans for the construction and operational phases. The use of larger windows for habitable rooms will be supported; d) The orientation and siting of buildings contribute to the definition of the public realm and the visual quality of the street scene, where building facades and front doors face the street, to promote overlooking and activity within the public realm. Our values underpin all that we do and how we work. They can provide a more economical alternative to private car use and enable access to opportunities and flexibility that cannot otherwise be gained. Natural environmentOur natural environment is under growing pressure from a range of factors including climate change, increased levels of pollution, changes in agriculture and development. In all developments where provision is made for taxi stopping the taxi spaces are required to include active charging facilities. Where visual screening is required for construction operations, advance planting schemes may be required. Regulated energy includes space heating, ventilation, hot water supply and lighting. Local plan policies provide direction and clarity on where development is expected to take place. 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. The policies within the Core Strategy were prepared to support the growth strategy at that time, with updates and more detailed policies set out in the PSP Plan (adopted in 2017). 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 order to deliver effective mitigation and/or compensation measures must be commensurate with the scale and impact of the development. Strategy Where will new development go? Planning policies also safeguard and seek to enhance our green infrastructure, biodiversity, historic assets and buildings, and unique areas of character across the authority. You can get information on their website. There are approximately 6,000 children living in poverty in South Gloucestershire, and many more are vulnerable on account of learning difficulties, disability or circumstances influenced by their race or gender. Pollution We are committed to reducing. Saved Policy CS4 Renewable or Low Carbon District Heat Networks will be addressed too. We will inspire residents, communities, and businesses as well as national Government and agencies to take fast climate and ecological action themselves. 34. 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 . Adopted Local Development Guide, March 2021 (PDF, 451 KB) It was subject to a targeted public consultation. Through our Community Engagement Forums and our Local Strategic Partnership, we work closely with the Police to identify the local priorities and actions for maintaining community safety. 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. 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. Further updates and evidence will be added to this page to support production of the new Local Plan. The establishment of agreed design parameters, and well defined, effective and long term monitoring arrangements, mechanisms and KPIs are key to this. To facilitate effective and timely pre-application engagement with the developer, the Council, in conjunction with relevant parties, will produce the following documents: This will consider the experience of other NNB projects in the particular context of Oldbury. why does ted lasso have a southern accent,
