Our priority is excellence in education and skills, ensuring equal opportunities for all. Where trees are provided within areas of public realm, suitable below ground provision must be made to ensure their longevity; b) Net gains for biodiversity, tree cover and landscape diversity have been achieved. Flood risk, drainage, water quality and water management, 24. Geographical Coverage : Whole of South Gloucestershire. The climate emergency and inequality gap present themselves in different ways across all the services that we deliver, and the Plan now sets these as the fundamental challenges to be met by all our priorities. 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. Introduction: A great place to live, work and visit, How we will work: People, Place, Partnership, How we will measure performance: What it will look like, improving our resilience to climate change, enabling development of renewable and low carbon energy supplies, protecting and restoring our natural environment and encouraging greater bio-diversity. Stroud tenant voice picked for national role - February 28, 2023 My house Enter your postcode for information on recycling, waste collections and council tax. The South Kesteven Local Plan sets out the vision, objectives, spatial strategy and policies for the future development of the district. 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. Both positive and negative effects are therefore addressed in the table of themes and issues, set out in the supporting text. 7. With regard to Clause 2, a map of existing renewable energy installations will be produced (and updated as appropriate) and published on our Local Plan webpages (under the Evidence base section) This clause allows for older, existing infrastructure to be upgraded with modern/ more efficient technology. Adopted Local Development Guide, March 2021 (PDF, 451 KB) It was subject to a targeted public consultation. Where public realm is required or provided, it should be accessible, attractive, functional, safe, varied, and interesting, to encourage social interaction. 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. In addition to topic by topic assessments, cumulative assessments will be required, including to understand the full range of effects on individual communities, through the preparation of Community Impact Assessments. The site would fall within the requirements of the Radiation Emergency Preparedness & Public Information Regulations (REPPIR) 2019 and would require off site arrangements to be put in place in the event of a release of radiation. Given the scale, complexity and duration of larger NSIPs, mechanisms and contingencies to enable the modification of mitigation to address unanticipated project impacts. Locational Constraints: Residential Development in the Countryside, 46. The charity makes a positive contribution to the lives of hundreds of older people in South Gloucestershire every week. 16. However, given the sensitive location, scale and complexity of the proposed NNB development and its potential for broad ranging negative impacts particularly on local communities, transport infrastructure and the environment, the Council will seek to ensure that: 1. 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. Along with other relevant policies in the plan, this policy will be a material consideration in engaging with the site licensee, NDA and the NNB promoter, other potential developers and providing pre-application advice, assessing and determining individual planning applications, as well as responding to other notifications and consultations related to the decommissioning of Oldbury power station. 14:27, 28 FEB 2023. This is because in non-residential development proposals it is difficult to assess the unregulated energy use as the end-user can vary widely and is not necessarily known. Option 1 requires residential development to reduce carbon emissions from regulated energy use by 100%. These would be focussed around designated town centres and transport hubs. Phasing plans and triggers to secure the timely delivery of the various elements of the project, its supporting infrastructure and associated development will be necessary to ensure the control of impacts to acceptable levels, including, for example, and where relevant early or advance implementation of: Archaeological investigations and wildlife surveys to ensure that these inform site selection and site planning; and Strategies for procurement, employment, education, training and recruitment, that take account of long lead in times; and Transport infrastructure and worker accommodation proposals to avoid impacts on, for example, the road network, community facilities and the rented housing market; and Habitat creation, landscape mitigation and/or screen planting where significant impacts are predicted. The East Fringe spans from the M32 eastwards, towards Downend, along the A4174 corridor to Hanham and Willsbridge. We have comparable relationships with Health Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups to identify health and well-being priorities but also extend this co-working to Friends of community park and asset groups so that we can support community activities and classes, but also share expertise and evidence that supports a broad range of future-funding proposals. Area Specific: Planning for the North Fringe of the Bristol Urban Area. 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. The Magnox site is located in a rural, sensitive and visually prominent location on the banks of the internationally designated Severn Estuary, in an area of high archaeological potential and immediately adjacent to the nominated nuclear new build (NNB). These should include plans for phasing, and triggers for the delivery of key supporting infrastructure in order to secure the timely implementation of mitigation. 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. A proposed new policy inclusive design will set out expectations in relation to accessible and adaptable development, including residential development, that policy is proposed to eventually replace existing policy PSP37 Internal Space and Accessibility Standards for Affordable Dwellings. 6) Resources and lifespanThe conservation of natural resources, including land, water, energy and materials in buildings and development, will form part of the strategy to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, helping to provide well-designed places over the longer-term. Mechanisms therefore need to be put in place to accommodate flexibilities while also ensuring that mitigation measures can be adapted or modified to address any impacts arising from those changes. The most up to date census data outlines that South Gloucestershire has a higher level of vehicle ownership per household than the national average. It can also bring wider environmental and economic benefits, and improve the security of our energy supply. 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. Back Visitor; Local attractions; Museums and galleries; Tourist information centres; Public transport; Events; About the area; Parks and open spaces; Arts and entertainment The Local Plan will guide how and where this will happen. 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. 21. 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. 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. 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. developing a low carbon economy, encouraging people to live low carbon, sustainable and healthy lifestyles. This will need to include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in. 2) Built formThe design and placement of built forms defines spaces and has a significant impact on peoples daily lives. Economic health South Gloucestershires Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2018 was 12,865m, ranking us 11th highest GDP of all local authorities in England outside of London. The Guidance will also provide detail on the information required for compliance with the Energy Management in New Development policy and the related clauses of the Creating well-designed places policy. 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. Theme: Flexibilities, monitoring and management, Due to the timeframes for NNB projects, there is the potential for changes in the socio economic or environmental context of the project Since detailed design of NNB facilities continues after DCO consent, it is likely that design parameters will be set to future proof plans The precautionary approach to impact appraisal ensures that worst case scenarios are assessed, However, the duration of impact is also relevant to acceptability Due to the complexity of NNB development it is possible that unanticipated impacts may occur during construction and/or operation. Public concerns about NNB may arise during the planning process and implementation, The timely delivery of impact mitigation and infrastructure can be secured through phasing plans and triggers Contingency Funding enables mitigation of unanticipated effects Public confidence can be built by publishing regularly updated monitoring information on a public web site. A Community Impact Mitigation Fund can facilitate offsetting of unavoidable impacts that cannot be mitigated Community Benefits are a way of recognising the burden and disturbance of a development of the complexity, scale and duration of NNB that is borne by the host community. 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. Early discussions have also contributed to the development of a new planning policy relating to decommissioning. Climate change is happening now and is the biggest challenge facing our society. It is important to engage with local communities at an early stage in the development process. 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 document is therefore a key starting point in the process and journey to prepare a new Local Plan. Site Allocations Sites & Criteria, CS4a Presumption in favour of sustainable development. Non-strategic policies deal with detailed matters, like locational principles and place specific requirements. Any lighting of the public realm or individual buildings should be appropriate to the intended use and functioning of the development, contribute to actual and perceived safety and avoid negative impacts on residents, as well as existing or proposed wildlife and ecology. 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. A Community Impact Assessment will also be required in order to bring together and assess individual and cumulative impacts on existing communities and to inform the development and timely implementation of appropriate management and mitigation measures. Given the proximity of Oldbury A and the proposed NNB site, and the potential for close interrelationships between multiple factors, the Council will continue to work with the Nuclear Decommissioning Agency, the operators of Oldbury A and NNB promoters in respect of decommissioning plans and the potential for integration with NNB. We take this responsibility extremely seriously and are ambitious for the future of all of those we look after. 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. All development proposals must: Information proportionate to the scale of the development proposed must be submitted with any planning application to demonstrate how the proposal addresses climate change mitigation and adaptation. The neighbourhoods that are within walkable distance of key facilities and services; are adjacent to key public transport hubs including UWE, Cribbs Causeway, Yate shopping centre or within ideal walking distance of rail stations with good services to key destinations, will be considered for reduced minimum car parking provision as the choice of travel options favours non-car travel. HeritageDistinctive place-based heritage stories and assets (market towns, aviation, non-conformist religion, Second World War, listed buildings and conservation areas). 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. 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. These targets will most likely be exceeded in practice, and the Council expects on-site measures to be maximised as far as possible. 17. In order to deliver on these objectives, to inform consultation responses and seek efficiency of working and common ground, the Council will: Take a collaborative partnership approach on NSIPs, working with scheme promoters local communities and relevant Government agencies, statutory undertakers, public bodies non statutory organisations and other neighbouring local authorities in seeking to ensure that the socio economic, environmental and transport benefits and legacy of the project are maximised and negative impacts minimised and/or compensated for.
