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. 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. To answer these questions visit our online consultation page at www.southglos.gov.uk/localplan2020-feedback to complete or download our questionnaire. Whilst we have seen strong performance from children and young people at some levels, overall, we recognise a distinct attainment challenge. You need to pay in advance using the online payment system. 3. 24. By 2019 this had risen to 46. It can also bring wider environmental and economic benefits, and improve the security of our energy supply. When applied this will indicate whether a reduction in car parking provision is appropriate. 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. Where possible, our priority is to prioritise development where it supports regeneration of existing town centres, high streets and communities and promotes the sustainability of existing services. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? For larger projects, cumulative impact assessment is a particularly important consideration, including across within and across topic areas and in combination with other plans and projects. This Phase 1. Local Plan 2018 - 2036. The fourth part of the sequential approach is for renewable energy generation technologies to be incorporated into development proposals as much as possible as set out in Clause 1d. 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. Localism. The SPD may be adopted in advance of formal pre-application consultation by the project promoter, to: help inform the scheme development; provide a basis for the Councils assessment of the project proposals and associated delivery plans; and provide the Planning Inspectorate and Secretary of State with guidance which may be material to decision making. Select the one which you are looking for and the map will automatically zoom and centre on this location. Satisfaction in the area79% of local people are satisfied with their area. The masterplan, including any necessary revisions, and individual proposals should seek to minimise impact on and maximise benefits and positive legacy for communities, the economy and the environment, including by: Securing sustainable and beneficial use and/or reuse and restoration of the site in terms of both interim and end states; and Protecting the site for high quality employment uses and/or green energy related uses in both in the near and longer term, while also: Ensuring that both the proposed works and their timing avoids impact on biodiversity designations and protected species, and where possible restoring, enhancing and managing Priority Habitats; Reinstating the habitat value of lagoon 3 for bird species associated with the designations on the Severn Estuary Conserving and where appropriate enhancing landscape character and visual amenity of the site and the locality including views across the local and wider landscape and estuary; Undertaking detailed archaeological and geoarchaeological assessment and investigation, recording and publication where development may impact on buried archaeological and environmental remains; Protecting the routes and amenity of the Severn Way and other PRoW links; Ensuring that any associated transport proposals are effectively controlled to avoid impact on local communities and ensure the safety of other road users; Demonstrating resilience to climate change and any increase in flood risk. This approach can have significant visual, community and conservation benefits. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? The Local Plan 2020 will shape our district for the next 15 years. All individual dwellings with one or more dedicated parking spaces or garage must include provision for 7Kw (32 amp) charging infrastructure suitable for charging an electric or other ultra-low emission vehicle. It should be noted that the decommissioning of Oldbury will also potentially result in other hazardous wastes such as asbestos which will require disposal at a hazardous landfill site. Non-strategic policies deal with detailed matters, like locational principles and place specific requirements. 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. An improving picture at secondary level. More information on the RESPD can be found here. 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. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. 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. can demonstrate wider environmental benefits associated with increased production of energy from renewable or low carbon sources; orc. Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches, Local Plan 2020 Opportunity for new planning policies, Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Planning policies, Local Plan 2020 Phase 2 Planning policies, Local Plan 2020 Proposed Strategic Policies, Working Policy Title: Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, Working Policy Title: Energy Management in New Development, Working Policy Title: Renewable and Low Carbon Energy System, Working Policy Title: Creating well-designed places, Working Policy Title: Parking Requirements, including Electric Vehicles, Working Policy Title: Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) and Related Development, Working Policy Title: Oldbury A Station- Decommissioning. The Local Plan will guide how and where this will happen. Due to the proposed changes to the planning system set out in the Governments Planning White Paper, some of the policies we have listed (including our draft policies) might not be carried forward. Therefore Clause 1c requires that after design measures to minimise the demand for cooling have been incorporated into the development then any residual cooling demand must be met sustainably through passive cooling measures, and then if necessary, through renewable mechanical ventilation measures and finally, renewable active cooling measures. 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. The nominated site is set in a sensitive location on the eastern bank of the internationally designated Severn Estuary, with tidal mudflats and the existing power station lagoon to the west, and the historic, flat, open landscape and habitats of the Severn Levels to the east. Flood riskExtensive areas subject to flood risk. The design process should be supported by a range of design tools, including well-considered and informative design and access statements which include context and character appraisals, design review panels, masterplans, and design codes. We want to promote the extension of this local commitment to community and publicise the value of that collective approach. They should make sufficient provision for: They also provide a clear starting point for more detailed non-strategic policies that are needed to address a wide range of issues. 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. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. We've been working in the local community to help older people for over 25 years. 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. The site includes Lagoon 3, which formerly provided open water habitat for birds associated with the estuary designations. The Local plan includes policies for deciding planning applications in Bristol. 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. 4. Policy Option 1: Net zero carbon (100% reduction in carbon emissions) from regulated energy use;or Policy Option 2: Net zero carbon (100% reduction in carbon emissions) from regulated and unregulated energy use. 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. Whilst we are exploring innovative digital methods by which to present our services and engage local people, we recognise the value of continued face-to-face conversations and maximising the involvement of community-based groups. 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. 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 is a broad, holistic approach to the energy system which integrates measures such as energy efficiency, energy storage, demand side response, and renewable energy generation (micro and macro scales) to create a flexible system that meets the need for energy in a timely, efficient and cost effective manner. Yet we also have attractive, safe communities with access to the city and open countryside. In line with the emerging Local Plan 2020 policy on NSIPs Council engagement in the preparation of a strategic masterplan on decommissioning should be appropriately resourced via a Planning Performance Agreement or other suitable mechanism. Fossil fuel based energy installations will no longer be acceptable. 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. 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. Nuclear power stations are national infrastructure sites, hosted by local communities on behalf of the nation. 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. Call for Sites outside of consultation periods. 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. Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP16: Parking Standards, Use Classes Order (September 2020) update. These targets will most likely be exceeded in practice, and the Council expects on-site measures to be maximised as far as possible. The site is adjacent to the existing Magnox power station that is now being decommissioned (referred to in this plan as Oldbury A). Passive Provision:Establishing all of the associated cables, chambers and junctions to allow for charging points to be installed without the need for undertaking works that require breaking ground. It must meet the needs of all users, including visitors and people with disabilities. The changes to the Order specifically relates to the way that retail, employment and leisure uses are classified. They should aim to make use of renewable energy infrastructures, such as photovoltaic arrays, ground source heat pumps and district heating systems, to reduce demand for non-sustainable energy sources. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 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. They also indicate how we are looking to review, and eventually replace our existing range of planning policies. Blank and inactive ground floor elevations should be avoided; and. To set out SGC approach to discharging its: Largely discretionary role as pre-consent consultee on Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs), and Role as determining authority role for development related to NSIPs; and Post consent role in determining applications to discharge requirements / conditions and as enforcement authority.Policy to: cover all stages of scheme development from early pre-application engagement through to post consent implementation and Discharge of Requirements; and recognise the need for engagement to be proportionate to the potential scale and extent of impacts on South Gloucestershire and its communities. At this stage, two policy options are presented under criterion 1. There are many strands to the inequality challenge and we must work with partners in health and education, with voluntary and community groups and directly with local people to first identify those at greatest need and to then put in place timely and appropriate support, ensuring that mechanisms, guidance and pathways to further education, employment and career progression etc. South Gloucestershire New Local Plan We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 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)). We will need to plan from what we currently know, but also build in sufficient flexibility to enable our approach to adjust as new arrangements start to replace the current approach. You can read more in the Action Plans 1 6 document. The following tables set out the types of policies we currently hope to include in our new Local Plan. These should consider not only the individual effects of the proposals, but also any cumulative effects. NNB development would also be subject to legislation relating to hazardous sites including a Detailed Emergency Planning Zone, within which the Emergency Planning implications of new development would need to be considered. But please see the Building a Strategy, Urban Lifestyles section for potential approaches which may involve places in the North Fringe, CS29 Communities of the East Fringe of Bristol Urban Area, Draft policy not yet available. HeritageDistinctive place-based heritage stories and assets (market towns, aviation, non-conformist religion, Second World War, listed buildings and conservation areas). gas boilers). 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. What are strategic and non-strategic policies? http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. This policy addresses the emissions from the operational phase of a building/development, in terms of heat and power. For example, a non-strategic policy may be a detailed policy for a specific area like Kingwood, where the Urban Lifestyles approach is being considered, or growth in a rural village or market town. Our priority is excellence in education and skills, ensuring equal opportunities for all. 29. 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. The proposed SGC Accessibility Assessment calculation is designed to assess development sites by weighting site specific local circumstances, (nearby facilities; walking, cycling and public transport provision) against existing parking issues and potential solutions, in order to encourage the use of sustainable travel including public transport through a reduction in proposed parking provision in areas of high connectivity. The segregated areas also allow consideration of sheltered provision, Urban Lifestyle and Accessibility Approach. These documents contain a. 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. Heat pumps can also be used to provide cooling from the ground and water. 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 is therefore not practical to require 100% reduction in both regulated and unregulated energy use. 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. 18. The four West of England unitary authorities(South Gloucestershire, Bristol City, Bath & North East Somerset & North Somerset Councils) adopted the Joint Waste Core Strategy on 25 March 2011. People want to live here, move here, and start businesses and families here. 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. In justifying new development in accordance with the NPPF requirements, this approach will not be acceptable. 32. 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. 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. Magnox applies the Waste Hierarchy , Best Available Technique (BAT) and Best Environment Practice (BEP) to manage the waste from its nuclear liabilities. 61.2 crimes per 1,000 population, lower than both the south west and England & Wales averages (67.8 and 88.9 per 1,000) respectively. The zones are areas of the district considered to have a high level of access to services and facilities and high level of public transport connections. 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. 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. developing a low carbon economy, encouraging people to live low carbon, sustainable and healthy lifestyles. Similarly for biodiversity, where alternative habitats may be required to accomodate displaced species, and for archaeology where advance agreement and implementation of Written Schemes of Investigation, early agreement and implementation of strategies may be required. They are currently defined in policy PSP11 Transport Impact Management, the proposed new policy will eventually replace PSP11. 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. 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. We have needed to find new ways to deliver services during the Covid-19 outbreak, some of which have highlighted better and more efficient ways of working. Therefore, proposals for the management and storage of radioactive waste would form part of any application for the project. Age UK South Gloucestershire is an independent local charity with its own locally elected board of trustees and is part of the Age UK network. The location, site planning, layout and design parameters for construction operations and all NNB related buildings, infrastructure, and mitigation measures avoids, minimises, mitigates or compensates for community, economic, and environmental impacts on the local and wider area, both in the short and longer term. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? This stage of the plan does not contain individual sites. In line with this guidance, site operators are required to produce a Waste Management Plan, a Site Wide Environmental Safety Case, and strategies to keep the risk of radiation exposure to people as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account economic and social factors. Specific on-site requirements for Major Non- Residential Development. These provide a framework to inform early engagement between the Council and a promoter of NNB at Oldbury. Through the South Gloucestershire Local Plan, we can guide and set requirements for new development to ensure that climate change mitigation and adaptation is addressed wherever possible. Whilst this table sets out a range of issues known at this time, with such long construction and operational phases, it is recognised that there may be changes in the wider and/or local socio economic and environmental context of a NNB project, and also that aspects of the project design may evolve. Therefore, specific minimum targets for energy efficiency and on-site measures are set out in Clauses 2 and 3. There has historically been an emphasis on assessing the impacts of major projects at peak, i.e. These should include plans for phasing, and triggers for the delivery of key supporting infrastructure in order to secure the timely implementation of mitigation.
