Consequently, Option 2, policy which requires residential development to reduce carbon emissions from regulated and unregulated energy use by 100%, is also presented. We recognise that in the short and medium term at least there will still be a need to ensure that sufficient parking provision if provided for private vehicles, on and off development sites. 47.1% of schools rated Outstanding or Good in March 2020 compared with 35.3% in the previous year. The site is adjacent to the existing Magnox power station that is now being decommissioned (referred to in this plan as Oldbury A). 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. 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. Renewable heat technologies include air, ground or water source heat pumps, micro-heat networks using ground source heat pumps with shared ground arrays, and biomass. Status : Local Plan document We want to work together to raise ambition, open new learning pathways and ultimately drive up attainment and opportunity for all of these children. 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. 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. We are considering how to safeguard areas that have renewable energy potential from development that may sterilise the resource. Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. We are required by the National Planning Policy Framework to split our policies into two types; strategic or non-strategic. 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. Given the perceptions relating to radioactive waste, security requirements and limitations on future use that would be imposed by disposal of low level and very low level waste on site at Oldbury, that would endure for many generations into the future, but without any benefits of employment opportunities on the site, it is appropriate that Community Benefits are secured to offset these impacts. This will include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and. 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. It also requires, where any residual carbon emissions remain, contributions towards carbon offsetting projects in the local area. For projects that will result in significant effects locally, appropriate governance arrangements will need to be put in place to monitor the progress of the project, involving relevant stakeholders, and data and findings published and reviewed at intervals appropriate to each KPI. 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). 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. 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. We will confirm if we are able to accept the submission. The expectation, based on evidence, is that this policy option will be viable and achievable in the near future for similar costs to those tested for Option 1. When applied this will indicate whether a reduction in car parking provision is appropriate. These would be focussed around designated town centres and transport hubs. Current Environment Agency (EA) guidance (Decommissioning of nuclear sites and release from regulation July 2018) includes for the potential disposal of some Low or Very Low Level Waste (LLW and VLLW) on site, instead of transporting off site for disposal elsewhere. 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. Work collaboratively with a project promoter to agree and ensure delivery of an appropriate evidence base to inform the development of sustainable NNB and associated development proposals as well as Council assessments , and. We must re-double our efforts to promote equality of opportunity and build cohesive communities. However, the Council considers that, in order to minimise impact of nuclear new build NNB on the locality it will be important where possible and practical to re-use the existing power station facilities and/or brownfield land and materials. Geographical Coverage : Whole of South Gloucestershire. 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. 3. 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. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? 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. 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. The South Kesteven Local Plan sets out the vision, objectives, spatial strategy and policies for the future development of the district. 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. As a council we have sometimes shied-away from highlighting the impacts of our work and what we have achieved, and at the heart of this plan is a new means of demonstrating how we are making a difference for you, delivering real value for money services. 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. It was also clear that whilst the fundamental priorities for the coming years will remain constant, our approach to meeting them will remain responsive and as such, this is a live and evolving document.Specifically, you have told us that you would like to see how the Plan supports our response to the Climate Emergency and the growing inequality gaps in our society. We offer an advice service for developers and landowners to meet with us to discuss your Local Plan representations. 87% of our primary schools are rated Good or Outstanding. 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. 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. 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. Our response to the current challenges presented by Covid-19, with so many children and young people having been away from learning in a school environment for an extended period, will be to empower them with the knowledge and skills required to take advantage of the range of choices and opportunities available. Where appropriate serviced land is left in a condition suitable for a future agreed use; oriii. 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. Our values underpin all that we do and how we work. Search the register of planning decisions We've matched the postcode to South Gloucestershire Council . 65. These provide a framework to inform early engagement between the Council and a promoter of NNB at Oldbury. Clauses 2 and 3 of the policy set out specific on-site requirements. 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. 19% of the population are aged over 65, which is expected to increase to 21% by 2043. The local authority is also the enforcement authority post consent. If you cannot expand the sections below, try refreshing your browser (Ctrl + F5). But above all, it is local. 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. In terms informing of the LPAs role, other emerging Local Plan 2020 policies sets out an overarching framework for the decommissioning and restoration of the Oldbury site against which pre-application advice and planning consents will be considered, and will also help inform the Councils response to any consultations on consents, licenses or permits from other organisations. 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. It is important that as much is done on-site as possible to minimise energy demand, and maximise renewable energy use and generation. Given the scale, complexity and duration of larger NSIPs, mechanisms and contingencies to enable the modification of mitigation to address unanticipated project impacts. The outcome of this work will be presented at future stages or preparing the Local Plan 2020. 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. Once greater detail is known, for example the number of new homes or jobs we need to plan for, we can begin drafting those new policies. 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. 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. It remains common for developers, in undertaking a context appraisal, to attempt to justify further indistinct development by referring to usually 20th century post-war development of indistinct quality nearby and/or claiming that the locality lacks distinction by way of the variety of ages and styles of development that exist in the area. Where existing policies are to be deleted, this is indicated in a separate table. However, evidence [insert link] shows that costs are predicted to fall and other changes are expected to occur (for example, changes to the carbon factors used in the software (SAP) used for assessing compliance with Building Regulations) which will mean that it will become less costly to meet policy requirements. 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. This should include consideration of the cumulative effects on impacts that are individually found not to be significant, so for example a series of biodiversity impacts that are found to be individually not significant, when considered together may cumulatively be found to be significant (Hinkley C Connections Project Examining Authority Report to the Secretary of State (pdf)). 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. 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. These targets will most likely be exceeded in practice, and the Council expects on-site measures to be maximised as far as possible. These documents contain a. 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. Back Visitor; Local attractions; Museums and galleries; Tourist information centres; Public transport; Events; About the area; Parks and open spaces; Arts and entertainment A total population of 285,100 in 2019 which is projected to rise to 354,300 in 2043. But please see the Building a Strategy, Urban Lifestyles section for potential approaches which may involve places in the East Fringe, CS30 Yate and Chipping Sodbury CS31 North Yate new neighbourhood, Draft policy not yet available. Often, adaptation measures do not just mitigate potential harm, but also offer beneficial opportunities a single measure can satisfy several policy requirements. Support decommissioning of the existing station, and appropriate beneficial interim/end state uses Take into account the intergenerational nature of the project, and experience to date that changes in approach to decommissioning may evolve over time Seek to ensure that an integrated approach is taken both to the overall land use planning of the site and individual project proposals within that overall framework, as well as, where possible in respect of nuclear new build Seek to secure a beneficial balance of socio economic and environmental outcomes from all proposals including any proposal to dispose of low level or very low level waste on site. We take this responsibility extremely seriously and are ambitious for the future of all of those we look after. This policy is a key principle behind the emerging development strategy of the local plan, and it is also reinforced and supported throughout the plan by more detailed policies which cover specific issues such as design, energy management, green infrastructure, sustainable transport and renewable energy. We also understand that above all, people want to see everyday services like waste collection and library services delivered efficiently. 26. Set out whether a carbon offsetting contribution is required to mitigate any remaining carbon emissions. We have also suggested nine priorities to address these issues. The timing of this Council Plan is important as we put in place the support and investment to re-ignite our powerful and innovative economy, and make our places safe, attractive, and sustainable for future generations. In planning this new housing, we must recognise the need to protect our natural habitats and biodiversity. There should be transparency of monitoring of progress against the DCO, its Requirements and the KPIs through the publication of a publicly accessible Annual Monitoring Report. Major housing development(s) should provide a range of home tenures, types and sizes, to meet local housing need and market demand; b) Safe, secure and healthy living, working, recreation and travelling environments have been provided, where opportunities for criminal activities are designed out, secure and appropriately sized private amenity areas are created, and the design of the public realm promotes activity and social engagement; c) An appropriate level of infrastructure to enable high quality digital connectivity has been designed into the development. d) Any parking provided is well-designed, conveniently sited, safe, overlooked, well-landscaped and sensitively integrated into the public realm or built form, so that it does not dominate the street scene. The Council will also explore how a percentage reduction in car parking provision could allow a percentage increase in cycle parking provision, however the details of how this may work are yet to be determined. This document is the first we have produced as we begin the process of producing our new Local Plan. 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 more information see our local plan review. In order to address this, South Gloucestershire Council will encourage developers to enter into Planning Performance Agreements (PPA) and/or Service Level Agreements (SLA), appropriate to each project. 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 will need to include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in. preparation of a new West of England Mayoral Plan The Spatial Development Strategy. Pollution We are committed to reducing. Although these changes are not reflected in this current draft, the council will continue to review the impact of the Order on the proposed schedules and will reflect updates where necessary in later drafts of this policy. In our most recent budget consultation, you told us that you are satisfied with the way the council works and that we deliver value for money. Whilst we have seen strong performance from children and young people at some levels, overall, we recognise a distinct attainment challenge. 18. We also want to open up new channels of communication, both digitally and through our face to face engagement and service interactions so we can reach all of our residents. More details about this emerging plan can be found here: South Glos. We cant deliver this Plan alone; many of the commitments we are working towards will be delivered either by, or with our partners. This Phase 1. The policy must also acknowledge and reflect that we are in a period of transition, and help support the process of moving from established practices to the new approaches which will better support our sustainability objectives in the medium and longer term. The following tables set out the types of policies we currently hope to include in our new Local Plan. Where we have emerging draft policies to share at this early stage, we have provided this in this table too. It sets out what development should happen where and protects important natural spaces, buildings and streets. The new Local Plan for Milton Keynes, Plan:MK was adopted by Milton Keynes Council at its meeting on the 20 March 2019, details of which can be found at Council 20 March 2019. The aim of this design policy is to shape and direct development proposals to create resilient and exceptional places, spaces, and buildings in South Gloucestershire. The credibility of monitoring information should be ensured through provision for independent analysis and verification, as well as the establishment of theme specific monitoring and advisory groups involving relevant stakeholders. Theme: Flood & Flood Risk Management(incl. The appropriate level of cycle parking for different types of development is provided in Schedule D. New builds will be expected to meet the standards set out in Schedule D. Conversions will also be expected to meet the standard, unless it can be demonstrated that individual site circumstances/constraints will not allow this. We want to ensure that all South Gloucestershire residents lead safe and healthy lives and that they enjoy good quality health and social care which focuses on their individual needs and enables them to retain their independence. The South Gloucestershire planners have been clear that government-set targets for housebuilding in the area CANNOT be met by development in urban areas and .
