south gloucestershire local plan

determination of any planning applications for proposals related to the NNB proposal; andiv. 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. Promoters wishing to submit call for sites outside of a formal consultation period or to submit additional technical information to support their existing call for sites should contact our Planning Policy Team using the details below. 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. Strategy Where will new development go? We want all children to be able to access high quality education wherever they live, whatever their economic circumstances and their ethnic origin, so that all have opportunity to achieve their full potential. Providing land for Economic Development, 9. Surveillance and overlooking into rear parking courts can be restricted by property boundaries meaning residents do not have a direct view of their vehicles. All of these documents are used by. This policy must work in combination with other aspects of the plan and also changes likely to happen outside of planning. Given the long term nature of decommissioning, spanning many years and even generations, it is acknowledged that plans for the site will evolve over time, and the masterplan will therefore need address both interim and end states and be capable of review and revision. The treatment and temporary storage of radioactive waste, both arising from Oldbury but also as part of an integrated programme of decommissioning for the national fleet of nuclear legacy power station sites because Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) has been imported to Oldbury for processing before onward transport to the long term storage facility at Berkley. They will eventually be replaced by new policies included in the Local Plan 2020- but not until the Local Plan 2020 has been adopted.

Heat pumps can also be used to provide cooling from the ground and water. 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. Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP16: Parking Standards, Use Classes Order (September 2020) update. 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. 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. 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. Clearly defined socio economic, environmental health and biophysical key performance indicators (KPIs) should be set out against which monitoring will be undertaken and reported. You can read more in the Action Plans 1 6 document. The National Planning Policy Framework makes clear that creating high quality buildings and places is fundamental to what the planning and development process should achieve. (The National Design Guide). The greater focus and specific action plans that flow from the Council Plan will accelerate our work and highlight where we can take further positive steps to protect and enhance our natural environment, delivering improvements to residents health and wellbeing and show that economic regeneration can enable people and nature to thrive. It can also be topic-based policies such as open space standards, parking standards, community facilities or the allocation of local sites. Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. 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. The establishment of agreed design parameters, and well defined, effective and long term monitoring arrangements, mechanisms and KPIs are key to this. The most common technologies are solar PV and also solar thermal. Our approach will be backed by appropriate data-gathering and evidence as we seek to develop a long-term financial strategy aligned with these Council Plan priorities. The existing and future development potential of adjoining sites, or the potential for the area to achieve a coherent, interconnected, and integrated built form, must not be prejudiced by proposals. Resistive electric heating (unless part of certified Passivhaus) is excluded. 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. 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. 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. Back Visitor; Local attractions; Museums and galleries; Tourist information centres; Public transport; Events; About the area; Parks and open spaces; Arts and entertainment Proposals that support the transition to a smart energy system may include battery storage facilities. As a council We Care. It is also important that any residual cooling demand is addressed sustainably, in order to avoid overheating risks and avoid the need for air conditioning. This policy addresses the emissions from the operational phase of a building/development, in terms of heat and power. The NDA expectation is that land will be remediated and de-designated by 2103. It is important that as much is done on-site as possible to minimise energy demand, and maximise renewable energy use and generation. 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. We have a strong track record of managing our finances and achieving savings, whilst continuing to deliver high quality, value for money services. This policy should be read in combination with all other relevant policies in the Plan, but in particular the suite of policies relating to NSIPs, decommissioning and radioactive waste. In establishing a character or identity of a development, the surrounding context is important to consider and reference. Strategic policies should set out an overall strategy for the pattern, scale and quality of development. Our Scrutiny Commission will also have a key role in monitoring delivery of the Council Plan as well as carrying out their policy development role as the Plan develops and is implemented. The relationships we have built through the Covid-19 pandemic are central to this and that new community conversation will grow further through the development of these very local-level relationships. www.southglos.gov.uk/localplan2020-feedback. It is therefore vital that where relevant, schemes of monitoring are put in place during construction and during operation to assess the reality of impacts arising. An integrated suite of management, mitigation, restoration and delivery plans covering all areas of potential economic, social, community, transport and environmental impacts during construction and operation. SavingsBy 2024, we will have made over 102m in annual savings. 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. We have an ageing population but recognise that most people as they get older want to remain independent for as long as possible. Each of these commitments has its own dedicated Action Plan which sets out how we will deliver our priorities and measure our progress to maintain the extraordinary status we believe South Gloucestershire merits. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? It is essential that adaptation measures are considered at the outset of the decision making process, including the location and initial concept of the development, and also that current and anticipated impacts are taken into account. But please see the Building a Strategy, Urban Lifestyles & Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve Yate and Chipping Sodbury, Draft policy not yet available. At the same time, we must invest in and exploit opportunities to shift the balance towards prevention and help people to help themselves. 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. Action must be taken in all sectors of society and at all levels locally, nationally and globally to mitigate, and adapt to, the impacts of climate change. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure. 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. Flood riskExtensive areas subject to flood risk. Development proposals are required to demonstrate how they will mitigate and adapt to climate change and help deliver radical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and generate renewable and/or low carbon energy proportionate to their scale and type. The built environment is estimated to account for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. These should include plans for phasing, and triggers for the delivery of key supporting infrastructure in order to secure the timely implementation of mitigation. Our priority is that this best start in life is available for all children although we recognise that we need to offer bespoke support for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. 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. Employment rateTo year end March 2020, South Gloucestershire had an employment rate of 83.1%, higher than the sub-regional and national averages (79% and 76.2% respectively). For residential development with communal off street parking provision, at least 20 per cent of spaces are required to have active charging facilities, and passive provision is required for all remaining spaces; High density and/or large scale residential / mixed use developments are additionally required to facilitate the provision of an electric or ultra-low emission car club, and provide dedicated space for the club with active charging facilities; All non-residential developments (e.g. This masterplan should set the overall strategy for the site, and provide the context for more detailed development proposals. Priority 3 Promoting sustainable inclusive communities, infrastructure and growth. Emissions are produced at all phases of the development process, including embodied carbon in the materials used, the construction process, and the operational phase. The Council proposes a new approach to parking standards that better reflects the changes that we need to make in how we live and work in the future in order for us to live more sustainably. What are strategic and non-strategic policies? 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. The development plan sets out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land in South Gloucestershire. But please see the Building a Strategy, Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve rural communities, Draft policy not yet available. 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. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? Some areas have relatively poor access to higher level job opportunities, and low-level attainment and skills. To answer these questions visit our online consultation page at www.southglos.gov.uk/localplan2020-feedback to complete or download our questionnaire. Our values underpin all that we do and how we work. Clause 1b requires the residual heat demand of a development to be met through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat source. Minimise cooling demand by reducing internal heat gains e.g. 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. Further to our early success in this area we have extended our commercial interests to provide an investment fund focused on supporting place-based regeneration, giving us greater control to directly deliver infrastructure and redevelopment in our town centres. 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. This will give a figure for the suitable reduction in car parking provision as a percentage reduction against the standard guidance in the Schedules below. Since the Core Strategy and the Policies, Sites and Places Plans were adopted we have entered into period of significant challenge and change. 65. 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. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) Buildings and public realm have been provided which have potential to be adaptable over time, to accommodate a range of uses and potential occupiers, being socially inclusive, accessible and tenure blind. The North Fringe spans from Cribbs Causeway to the east, to Junction 16 of the M5 to the north, all the way to Junction 19 of the M4 for the M32. 14:27, 28 FEB 2023. 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. If so, there will be a charge of 290 plus VAT. 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. In 2019 the average earnings for a full-time worker living in South Gloucestershire was 31,609, higher than the national average (30,661). 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. 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. Planning law requires that planning decisions are made in accordance with the Council's Development Plan. 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. Relevant aspects of proposed policy on decommissioning will be expected to inform the establishment of those principles. The public consultation on our plan to introduce restrictions on the rights of homeowners to convert existing housing into houses in multiple occupation in the Stoke Park and Cheswick ward, and parts of the Filton ward closed on 31 January 2023. These should include governance arrangements, plans and mechanisms to cover the full range of impacts, to assess compliance with KPIs, the adequacy of mitigation, compensation or community benefits and to ensure that any necessary adjustments to mitigation can be agreed and made as necessary. 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. 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. At this stage, the intention is for all of these policies to be contained within a single Local Plan Document. It is no surprise then that demand for housing is high and increasing. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? The outcome of this work will be presented at future stages or preparing the Local Plan 2020. The need to protect habitats and species associated with the international designations on the estuary, including the seasonal presence of migratory species, may also constrain the timing, phasing and nature of decommissioning related activities and works. Locals have their say on where Bristol's boundaries end Bradley Stoke Bookmark New train station. It is therefore considered important that a policy framework for a proposed NNB project at Oldbury should be developed in conjunction with the overall policy for South Gloucestershire, and that this policy should address ways of working as well as relevant considerations, constraints and opportunities relevant to the NNB. 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. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? New policies might evolve from existing policies, or cover entirely new issues and topics. Priority 2 Identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselves. In terms of mitigating or limiting the impacts from solar gain in developments, relatively straightforward design solutions exist, such as incorporating bris soleil, projecting canopies or the planting of deciduous trees. The 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. A set of short videos explaining the preparation of, and how you can get involved in shaping our new Local Plan 2020 for South Gloucestershire. Our most important resource is our people, and we must maintain and build on our inclusive and supportive culture and working environment and positively promote equalities throughout everything we do. We then engaged further on these through wider public consultation between May and July 2020.Through the consultation we received support for those initial priorities that had been informed and guided by engagement with local people and other stakeholders. 2. Potential for integrated solutions between the Magnox and NNB including to the temporary and/or long term reuse of brownfield land and flood mitigation Maximise sustainable transport and construction methods Integrate Sustainable Drainage solutions into NNB site design Facilitate the use of waste heat from NNB for e.g. 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. role as consultee on the DCO and the preparation of a Local Impact Report;iii. South Gloucestershire New Local Plan We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. Steps should be taken to mitigate the visual impact of any such installations. The most up to date census data outlines that South Gloucestershire has a higher level of vehicle ownership per household than the national average. This policy is intended to be read in combination in particular with the emerging Local Plan 2020, policy on decommissioning, although it may also be relevant to any future proposals for disposing of radioactive waste off site, and the development of preferred principles for the decommissioning of a new nuclear power station. What is the current approach to Parking Standards? The fund will be administered by the Council and will be collected via Section 106 agreements. Meet residual cooling demand renewably through: Set out projected annual energy demands for regulated energy use heating, cooling, hot water, lighting and power from the proposed development using the target emissions rate (from current Building Regulations Part L standards at the time of full planning or relevant reserved matters approval); and, Set out the projected annual energy demands for unregulated energy use from the proposed development; and, Show how total projected annual energy demands have been reduced via energy efficiency measures, and set out the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the remaining energy demand and the % emissions saving that will be achieved; and, Set out the choice of sustainable heating/cooling systems and how these have been selected, and the residual carbon dioxide emissions that the development will generate after energy efficiency and sustainable heating/cooling have been taken into account; and, Demonstrate how the incorporation of on-site renewable energy has been maximised to offset residual carbon dioxide emissions; and. This approach can have significant visual, community and conservation benefits. 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. Neighbourhood planning in your community Neighbourhood planning has an important role to play as. About the council. Monitoring and review arrangements for both the construction and operational phases of the NNB. 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. Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO), Residential Conversions and Sub-Divisions, 48. Town and parish councils. 3. However, in the medium and longer term if more sustainable travel choices become more widely available and used, there will be an opportunity to repurpose the spaces allocated for parking, towards more beneficial uses. Geographical Coverage : Whole of South Gloucestershire. However, inequality gaps have increased over recent years and without preventative action, the Covid-19 pandemic threatens to further hold back the prospects of the most disadvantaged. Do you agree with the range and scope of policies we are proposing to include in our new Local Plan? 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. 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. Application of these priorities is subject to compliance with the criteria set out below and other relevant policy in the development plan. 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. These however should be submitted on a Call for Sites form and include a clear map, along with any supporting information. For residential development, two policy options are presented to achieve net zero carbon. You can read more in the Action Plans 12 16 document. Motorcycle and other powered two wheelers can offer an affordable means of movement for trips where public transport is limited and walking and cycling unrealistic. In its role either as determining authority for planning applications, or as consultee for applications to other bodies, the Council will take into consideration the nature, scale, extent and potential impact of any development proposal, and seek to ensure that: Development proposals align where relevant with the West of England Spatial Development Strategy (SDS) and make a positive contribution to the delivery of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan, the Joint Local Transport Plan and other supporting and/or relevant plans and strategies, including neighbourhood plans; and, A strategic and integrated approach is taken to the location, planning, design, phasing and delivery of NSIPs and their associated infrastructure and/or development so that it maximises positive social, economic and environmental outcomes, minimises negative impacts, and secures appropriate community and legacy benefits, and. 3. Passivhaus is an international energy standard for buildings. Option 1 requires residential development to reduce carbon emissions from regulated energy use by 100%.
