PDF Appendix 1 UPDATE TO LOCAL DEVELOPMENT SCHEME FOR 2013 - 2015 To support engagement throughout the planning and implementation stages for a proposed NNB, the Council will: In advance of substantive pre-application engagement with the project promoter, prepare a Pre-Engagement Position Statement setting out the Councils initial views on evidence needed, constraints and opportunities in relation to the proposed development, as well as potential mitigation approaches, legacy opportunities and community benefits. These groups bring different perspectives and additional local connections, strengthening our joint capabilities. 2. Following the decision of the WECA Mayor to stop all work on the West of England Combined Authority Spatial Development Strategy, the Local Plans for Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire will now provide the strategic planning framework for the West of England Combined Authority area.The issue of housing need will now be addressed through individual Local Plans for each of the Local Councils. Local Plan Phase 2 Consultation - South Gloucestershire Adele Davison, Apprentice Engineer, South Gloucestershire Council. Analysing the data and liaising with our education providers, we are aware of a cohort of predominantly white children from disadvantaged backgrounds who are behind their peers in their educational attainment. Current policies and guidance - South Ribble Borough Council 26. This current policy applies a district wide standard for bicycle and car parking spaces for residential properties. d) Where possible, renewable and low carbon energy installations and infrastructure have been incorporated. Further information on the SGC Accessibility Assessment calculation will be brought forward through a revised Parking Standards SPD. Policies map | Stroud District Council However, there are also wider social, environmental and economic benefits from tackling climate change, for example, in terms of addressing the ecological crisis and public health concerns. Monitoring and review arrangements for both the construction and operational phases of the NNB. Locals have their say on where Bristol's boundaries end Bradley Stoke Bookmark New train station. They outline the number and types of homes, jobs, services and facilities, as well as infrastructure that will be expected to be developed in South Gloucestershire. 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. Saved Policy CS4 Renewable or Low Carbon District Heat Networks will be addressed too. preparation of a new West of England Mayoral Plan The Spatial Development Strategy. Have your say on proposals to improve sustainable travel between Thornbury and Bradley Stoke. 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).. The East Fringe spans from the M32 eastwards, towards Downend, along the A4174 corridor to Hanham and Willsbridge. 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 Council declared a Climate Emergency on 17th July 2019, which included a pledge to provide the leadership to enable South Gloucestershire to become carbon neutral by 2030, and also to enable our communities to achieve 100% clean energy across all sectors. 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. 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 want to build on those positive relationships, encouraging community-focused engagement with the voluntary sector, businesses and other key stakeholders. It may be appropriate in certain situations to retain and renovate existing buildings, where this forms part of a more sustainable approach to development, or where existing structures have local historic significance. Our Local Strategic Partnership will have a particularly prominent role on those issues which require a joined-up approach across multiple partners, most notably in tackling the Climate Emergency, our ambitions to enhance educational attainment and in closing the inequality gap, Priority 1 Creating the best start in life for our children and young people. The local authority is also the enforcement authority post consent. 1. Mechanisms would also need to be put in place to allow the introduction of additional mitigation or the adjustment of approved measures, so that unanticipated consequences can be addressed. The following tables set out the types of policies we currently hope to include in our new Local Plan. 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. A total population of 285,100 in 2019 which is projected to rise to 354,300 in 2043. We will look after every penny as if it were our own, prioritising spending on the most vulnerable in our society and the services which are most important to you. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 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. We will confirm if we are able to accept the submission. The Council has identified ten themes and associated issues, constraints and opportunities relevant to: the development of sustainable and integrated proposals for a NNB development, and the minimisation of impacts on our local communities and environment, and the maximisation of positive outcomes, community benefits and legacy. Evidence of climate change mitigation should be submitted to demonstrate how development proposals:a) Are to be built with materials, and construction methods, that have a low carbon footprint; andb) Are located in areas where the need to travel is minimised, the use of the private car is minimised irrespective of fuel source, and opportunities for using sustainable modes of transport such as walking, cycling and public transport, are optimised (in line with the approach in existing policies CS8 and PSP11); andc) Minimise energy consumption through efficiency measures at building and site level; andd) Use renewable and/or low carbon sources of heating systems; ande) Maximise passive cooling measures, and meet residual cooling demand sustainably; andf) Optimise renewable and/or low carbon energy generation; andg) Incorporate infrastructure and technology to facilitate low carbon living and working. Core Strategy policy CS37 Nuclear related Development (covers the overall approach to nuclear related development, including paragraph 12 on radioactive waste). Policies in our Local Plan are the starting point for making decisions on all planning applications and will be the foundation for guiding development across all of South Gloucestershire. 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. About neighbourhood planning | South Gloucestershire Council It is proposed that the policy looks at a zoning approach to allow for reduced car parking provision in areas which are demonstrably well connected with ample opportunities for walking and cycling access to key services and facilities as well as good public transport provision. Plan:MK now. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire, called the Local Plan 2020. Magnox is undertaking an ongoing programme of decommissioning. 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. South Gloucestershire Council voter ID row over 'rushed and ill We also understand that above all, people want to see everyday services like waste collection and library services delivered efficiently. In order to avoid impacts on social, health and community services and facilities serving existing communties, early delivery may be needed. Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) are large-scale projects of national importance (defined in the Planning Act 2008) such as new trunk roads, airports, ports, power stations (including nuclear), electricity transmission lines, waste water treatment works and chemical works. Electric Vehicle charging in local plan policy. 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. Pete Barnard, Headteacher, Frampton Cotterell Church of England Primary School. Design measures can help to reduce the need for heating and cooling, as well as power. Parking standards will form an important part in enabling and controlling car parking, including electric vehicle charging provision and bicycle parking provision, which alongside other policies will support the objectives to enable the new approach. Creating sustainable rural villages and settlements, Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. 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. We have a strong track record of managing our finances and achieving savings, whilst continuing to deliver high quality, value for money services. 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. developing a low carbon economy, encouraging people to live low carbon, sustainable and healthy lifestyles. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment is therefore essential to help achieve the targets necessary to mitigate climate change, as set out in emerging Local Plan 2020 policy, Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. 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. For residential development, two policy options are presented to achieve net zero carbon. We are considering how to safeguard areas that have renewable energy potential from development that may sterilise the resource. 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. Council Plan 2020 - 2024 | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council Council Plan 2020 - 2024 This document sets out our plans for achieving the best for our residents and their communities.. Any good-quality existing surface materials, boundary treatments and street furniture have, wherever possible, been retained in situ. 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. It should achieve this by being Certified Passivhaus (or equivalent), which includes a renewable source of energy for heating and hot water and incorporates renewable energy generation technology, or through meeting the following criteria sequentially: a) Minimising demand for heating, cooling, hot water, lighting and power through building and site level measures; thenb) Meeting the residual heat demand through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat sources; thenc) Meeting residual cooling demand sustainably sequentially through:i) passive cooling measures;ii) mechanical ventilation; and finallyiii) active renewable measures; thend) Maximising on-site renewable energy generation; and then, if necessary,e) Offsetting any remaining residual carbon emissions via a contribution to a carbon offsetting project or fund within South Gloucestershire. The Climate Emergency declaration has given fresh impetus to tackling climate change in South Gloucestershire, and the local plan provides a crucial opportunity to make significant progress. 66. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure. 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. Ensuring we aim for high quality and progressive approaches is crucial if we are to positively address our declared Climate Emergency, build upon the lessons learned during the Covid-19 pandemic, and address inequalities across our communities. Theme: Flood & Flood Risk Management(incl. South Gloucestershire has the opportunity to increase renewable energy generation and facilitate development to enable a more flexible, smart, decentralised energy system. 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. South Gloucestershire is an area with extensive Green Belt, Cotswold National Landscape designation, bustling urban areas and three unique market towns. If a future or legacy use for any temporary development or construction area is not feasible or appropriate, the Council shall require a scheme of works to be agreed whereby: i. Temporary buildings, structures and other infrastructure are removed, and/orii. Option 1 is viability on this means that the costs associated with this option have been tested through the Local Plan viability study. These are published on our website and well provide regular updates to track our progress against those commitments, ensuring that we are transparent and accountable. 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. It is therefore possible to achieve a net zero carbon standard where carbon emissions from the operation of a new development, in terms of heat and power, are effectively reduced to zero. We are externally recognised as a high-performing council, yet despite the scale of our economy, the attraction as a place to live and work and the increasing role we play as a destination to visit, South Gloucestershire is yet to establish a distinctive and understood identity. Every day our staff and councillors speak with residents, businesses and other partners and these conversations helped shape our initial thinking and priorities. 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. Do you agree with the range and scope of policies we are proposing to include in our new Local Plan? 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. This document is therefore a key starting point in the process and journey to prepare a new Local Plan. The South Kesteven Local Plan sets out the vision, objectives, spatial strategy and policies for the future development of the district. 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. Below are some of the key changes that will influence a new approach. 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. This stage of the plan does not contain individual sites. Education and qualificationsIn 2019, 38.8% of people aged 16-64 living in South Gloucestershire were educated to NVQ level 4 or above (HND, degree, higher degree level qualifications or equivalent), this remains lower than both the sub-regional (West of England) and national (England) averages (45.4% and 40%). 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 improving picture at secondary level. The Core Strategy was adopted on 11 December 2013. It is not proposed that a blanket reduction be applied in these areas as individual sites may be more (or less) suitable to a reduction but instead sets out areas where it is suitable for a reduction in car parking space provision. Core Strategy Policy CS37 Nuclear Related Development (partial)Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP46: Oldbury New Nuclear Build (NNB). Satisfaction in the area79% of local people are satisfied with their area. A NNB new facility would be expected to comprise very substantial development including nuclear reactors, cooling infrastructure, interim spent fuel, radioactive waste stores, other associated buildings plus grid connections, and additional construction land. 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. This document is the first we have produced as we begin the process of producing our new Local Plan. Equally, many of our priorities and commitments dont stop at our boundaries. 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. EA guidance as per footnote 2 sets out examples of reuse, including filling voids on site or forming bunds/landscaping. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 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. PDF Clean Version for Interimpublication - South Gloucestershire 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. You can get information on their website. 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. HeritageDistinctive place-based heritage stories and assets (market towns, aviation, non-conformist religion, Second World War, listed buildings and conservation areas). Area Specific: Planning for the North Fringe of the Bristol Urban Area. These documents contain a wide range of adopted planning policies, and will be used to determine planning applications until they are replaced. The design of new development will need to consider ducting and provision for digital infrastructure to ensure it is well integrated into site design and development to allow maintenance and servicing and avoid negative impacts on the quality of places and spaces. Yet we also have attractive, safe communities with access to the city and open countryside. Clearly defined socio economic, environmental health and biophysical key performance indicators (KPIs) should be set out against which monitoring will be undertaken and reported. 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. 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 . Clauses 2 and 3 of the policy set out specific on-site requirements. Pollution We are committed to reducing. The Core Strategy, which contains the strategic policies for the area, was adopted in 2013. 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. Developers are encouraged to review South Gloucestershire Councils Planning Performance Agreement Charter (pdf) for further information. The Covid-19 pandemic has strengthened connections between the general public and the council, health service and other public sector bodies.
