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. Emissions come from the transportation and materials used in the construction process, as well as the emissions from the operation and use of the development throughout its expected lifetime, including the emissions from the travel movements of users. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire, called the Local Plan 2020. For some topic-based policies we already have prepared early drafts of policies to share, covering the following topics: Working Policy Draft Available (Strategic), Working Policy Draft Available (Non-Strategic). Natural environmentOur natural environment is under growing pressure from a range of factors including climate change, increased levels of pollution, changes in agriculture and development. 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 sets out what development should happen where and protects important natural spaces, buildings and streets. 4. You can get information on their website. South Gloucestershire Local Plan - Proposed Submission: Policies, Sites and Places Plan (June 2016) 6. Our Compact with the Voluntary and Community Sector and the Parish and Town Council Charter will be complemented by a new set of Keep it Local working arrangements, an enhanced way of working with the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector to identify better ways to deliver services to improve the lives of local people. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? But please see the Building a Strategy, Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve rural communities, Draft policy not yet available. Promotion of healthy lifestyles and well-being both for construction workers and local people Dedicated provision of facilities and services for construction workers to prevent impacts on local communities Surveys of local people during implementation can help understanding of well-being issues Provision of amenities for construction workers could become long term legacy for local communities Enhancements to the PRoW network to compensate for any unavoidable losses. Accelerating the decarbonisation and decentralisation of the energy system in the UK is essential to mitigating climate change. Reference should also be made to saved Core Strategy Policy CS4 Renewable or Low Carbon District Heat Networks. As part of this Phase 1 Issues and Approaches consultation document, we want to set out the range of policies we think will be required and which local plan priority they would assist in achieving. Once a DCO and its constituent development strategy, phasing and supporting infrastructure proposals have been consented, any NSIP related development proposals/ amendments or related applications will be assessed against the DCO and in combination with the overall development proposals. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is clear in that Permission should be refused for development of poor design that fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions. 19. 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. 5. 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. Therefore, specific minimum targets for energy efficiency and on-site measures are set out in Clauses 2 and 3. 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. However it is not a replacement for the provision of infrastructure to promote other modes of transport such as walking/cycling and public transport services. A classified heat network is a heat network with a definite plan to become 100% renewable within a reasonable time scale, is constructed to a high quality (in accordance with appropriate technical standards, currently CIBSE code of practice), offers a fair and affordable price to consumers, and provides annual reporting on their performance and carbon content. 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. Every day our staff and councillors speak with residents, businesses and other partners and these conversations helped shape our initial thinking and priorities. We want to promote healthy lifestyles by controlling the number and type of new takeaways near schools by updating our existing approach set out in policy PSP35 (Food and Drink Uses). 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. 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. 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. However, if unforeseen changes in the project occur, such as a delay in the provision of supporting infrastructure, these peak numbers may be sustained over a longer period of time. This will include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in our area over at least the next 15. There are several areas within the District where there are parking problems where demand exceeds the parking supply with resultant difficulties for travel, including waste collection and emergency services examples include the area around Kingswood High Street; Kings Drive and surrounding cul-de-sacs in Stoke Gifford; Hoopers Walk, Longwell Green; Edgeware Road, Staple Hill; St Barnabus Close, Warmley; Elmleigh Close, Mangotsfield; Lower Station Road, Staple Hill, and Whitsun Leaze within the relatively new development at Charlton Hayes, Patchway. This current policy applies a district wide standard for bicycle and car parking spaces for residential properties. 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. We welcome and value the role that our residents and our partners in health and care, in housing, in education, in the police and emergency services, the private, public and voluntary and community sectors have already played in developing the vision behind this Council Plan and we look forward to working with you over the coming years to deliver our ambitious vision for you and your community. In considering proposals relating to radioactive waste the Council will have regard to other relevant guidance and policy including for example on the waste hierarchy, the proximity principle (see: Planning Portal definition of Proximity Principle), a masterplan for decommissioning the Oldbury site, as well as assessments of the potential impact in the wider community and environment, including those arising from alternative disposal routes. The key risks of climate change have been identified as coming from flooding, coastal change, high temperatures and new pests and diseases. We will recruit and retain people with the right skills and provide the right culture, leadership, and environment for our staff to do their jobs to the best of their ability. At this stage, two policy options are presented under criterion 1. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. You can search using a range of address details by. Community benefits beyond the requirements of the Planning Acts may also be sought through the provisions of the Local Government Acts, other legislation, through voluntary agreement with the project provider, or in accordance with an industry protocol. In addition to a NSIP application, local authorities may be the decision maker for any elements of associated or related development not included within the main DCO application, and national policy will be a material consideration in determining these applications as appropriate. It also identifies land and allocates sites for. Car ownershipLevels of car ownership and commuting are high. You can also register for updates by emailingpolicy.consultation@southglos.gov.uk. The Assessment is expected to be undertaken by the developer as part of their Transport Assessment/Statement. Given the proximity to the estuary, due consideration must also be given to impacts on designations and protected species, including in relation to the timing of works and any potential for disturbance. Many of our school-leavers and graduates choose to stay here and the area is also convenient for commuting to surrounding cities and further afield. An increasing proportion of the councils funding comes from what we receive from council tax and business rates and so it is natural that our key priorities and commitments are based on what you, our residents and local businesses, have told us is important to you. Call for Sites outside of consultation periods. Topic-based policies shape the quality, type and way we build new types of development. Doing so would help meet the Councils carbon reduction and renewable energy generation targets set out in emerging Local Plan 2020 policy Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. 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. 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 . Unlike for example domestic waste streams, radioactive waste from a nuclear power station is not generated by that local community, it is generated by that national infrastructure facility and any on site disposal would again be hosted by that local community on behalf of the nation. 20. It is proposed that the policy looks at a zoning approach to allow for reduced car parking provision in areas which are demonstrably well connected with ample opportunities for walking and cycling access to key services and facilities as well as good public transport provision. We are externally recognised as a high-performing council, yet despite the scale of our economy, the attraction as a place to live and work and the increasing role we play as a destination to visit, South Gloucestershire is yet to establish a distinctive and understood identity. 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. Population 63% of the population live in the urban area, 17% in market towns and 20% in villages and rural areas. Key Services and Facilities and appropriate walking & cycling distances to them will be defined in a proposed new policy Sustainable Travel & Access, which will be brought forward in future stages of the Local Plan. Clearly defined socio economic, environmental health and biophysical key performance indicators (KPIs) should be set out against which monitoring will be undertaken and reported. But South Gloucestershire is a great place to live, work and visit. 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. Parking to fronts should be enhanced by the use of finer paving materials and attention to landscaping between spaces essentially creating good driveways. Given the intergenerational timeframes involved with decommissioning, the long timeframes involved in radioactive decay, and any potential hazards associated with low and very low level radioactive materials proposed to be disposed of on site, it will be vital to ensure that mechanisms are put in place to ensure that records are available and signposted to future organisations, land owners, decision makers and regulators, and to inform land use planning into the future.

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. SavingsBy 2024, we will have made over 102m in annual savings. 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. The Council proposes that developments within the urban zone (seen on the indicative map below) must submit a SGC Accessibility Assessment. It covers the general location, type and scale of development as well as protecting what is valued about the area. The Local Plan will guide how and where this will happen. The plan comprises a number of separate documents: Core Strategy. Voter ID will be required at South Gloucestershire Council's local elections on May 4 (Image: PA) A row broke out over the Government's 'rushed and ill-conceived' new law . 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. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire, called the Local Plan 2020. Significant weight will be given to outstanding or innovative designs which respond to positive, locally distinctive features. The scale and impact of NSIPs may require an appropriate and comprehensive package ofdeveloper contributions to mitigate and compensate for any new and increased levels ofimpact and harm. The objective will be to ensure that only those proposals with a positive balance of outcomes in terms of reducing negative effects or increased benefits are consented. 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. 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. 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. The council is currently working on a new Local Plan. This may be subject to change based on any changes to the National Planning System. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? Where appropriate serviced land is left in a condition suitable for a future agreed use; oriii. The Local Plan is made up of a number of documents which you can view in ouradopted planssection. The most common technologies are solar PV and also solar thermal. Policies Sites and Places policy PSP6 Onsite renewable and low carbon energy. 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. We will enable a low carbon, climate and ecologically resilient district through our policies, programmes, and decision-making. 1) Context and identityDevelopment proposal(s) must demonstrate an understanding of, and respond constructively to the building and landscape characteristics that make a particularly positive contribution to the distinctiveness and identity of the area. In the last two years, we have seen a 5% increase in assessments for adult social care. Saved Policy CS4 Renewable or Low Carbon District Heat Networks will be addressed too. Overarching climate change, design, green infrastructure and environment approaches; Housing, employment, retail, leisure and other commercial development; Waste, minerals and national projects like Power Stations. Strategic policies should set out an overall strategy for the pattern, scale and quality of development. Please note: at this stage, the existing policies set out in the Core Strategy, Policies Sites and Places Plan and Joint Waste Core Strategy will remain in place, and will be used to determine planning applications. But please see the Building a Strategy, Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve Severnside. Core Strategy Policy CS37 Nuclear Related Development (partial)Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP46: Oldbury New Nuclear Build (NNB). Local Plan 2018 - 2036. 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. The built environment is estimated to account for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. 1. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure. New technology, different attitudes and direction from national policy means a new approach can be explored to help meet the numerous challenges that continue to face South Gloucestershire. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? Meeting the needs of our Gypsy/ Traveller & TravellingShowpeoplecommunities, 8. The visual implications of any proposals for change would need to be carefully considered. retail, office, leisure) which include vehicular parking must include as a minimum passive infrastructure to enable the future provision of electric charging facilities; For all non-residential developments providing 10 or more parking bays, at least 20% of those bays are required to provide active charging facilities for electric or other ultra-low vehicles. These targets are necessary to help slow down the warming of the Earth and reduce the severity of the impacts of climate change. 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. For more information see our local plan review. Waste storage and collection must be carefully considered in any form of development, but waste provision in residential developments in particular, must be well-integrated, visually appealing, and functional. The 95 will be index linked and therefore increase annually. We have a flourishing local economy and high levels of employment and want to proactively support high potential future-facing industries. 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. As we publish this plan it has been an extraordinary and completely unprecedented six months for the country and for residents of South Gloucestershire. Specific on-site requirements for Major Non- Residential Development. 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. These provide a framework to inform early engagement between the Council and a promoter of NNB at Oldbury. The Covid-19 pandemic has strengthened connections between the general public and the council, health service and other public sector bodies. The response from staff, business and residents has been incredible and has epitomised what South Gloucestershire has done well for many years, pulling together our skills, expertise, and commitment to support and strengthen our local communities. This will help applicants understand how the policy requirements fit together and what information is necessary to demonstrate how the policies will be satisfied. In establishing a character or identity of a development, the surrounding context is important to consider and reference. 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.
