All land use, development, demolition and waste planning proposals should be set within the context of an agreed strategic masterplan. 06/02/2023. It can also be topic-based policies such as open space standards, parking standards, community facilities or the allocation of local sites. After consultation with a scheme promoter and other relevant parties and as appropriate to the scale of development proposed, prepare a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) to provide more detailed and/or site specific guidance to inform the Councils: i. pre-and post-application engagement and consultation responses;ii. Satisfying the detailed requirements set out in policies, such as Energy Management in New Development and Creating well-designed places, will also help demonstrate compliance with the overarching climate change policy. 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. 1. The tables link each policy to one of our emerging plan priorities, for example, exceptional spaces and places. Seek to agree the scope, methodologies and publication of all relevant socio economic, environmental and transport surveys and assessments that will underpin the development, assessment and subsequent monitoring of NSIP related proposals. Our new Council Plan 2020 sets out how we will build on and deliver this vision, highlighting: This is your Council Plan. 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. These should include plans for phasing, and triggers for the delivery of key supporting infrastructure in order to secure the timely implementation of mitigation. Different standards for different parts of the district? For non- residential development, only one policy option is presented which requires 100% reduction in carbon emissions (net zero carbon) arising from regulated energy use. Infrastructure for telecommunications, 64. Emissions are produced at all phases of the development process, including embodied carbon in the materials used, the construction process, and the operational phase. It should set out the overall parameters for the future evolution of the site, including: a) The existing, interim and end states for the site,:b) An outline phasing and timetable for worksc) The location and scale of existing and proposed structures, buildings, voids, boundary treatments and any proposals for their retention or modification,d) Demolition proposals both above and below ground;e) Proposals for new or changed earthworks, hardstanding or changes to land use and /or external appearance, including restoration where buildings are removed;f) Any locations, proposals and protection measures for onsite waste treatment, management and/or disposal of all types;g) The design approaches for new and altered buildings, structures and open areas,h) Strategic landscape and biodiversity proposals, including the management and or restoration of the mosaic of semi-natural and Priority Habitats for the benefit of protected Species across the Magnox estate, including the reinstatement of Lagoon 3 as open water for birds species associated with the estuary. The Local plan includes policies for deciding planning applications in Bristol. In August 2020, the Government released a Planning White Paper for consultation which proposes significant changes to the Planning system. The Plan is ambitious; we aspire to be recognised locally and nationally for what we achieve as a council and with our many partners. Changes to the way the planning system operates (including national planning policy) is likely to have a strong influence on the range and content of planning policies we include in our Local Plan 2020. Town Centres, High Streets, Shopping and Leisure., 10. The masterplan proposals will also need to address the sensitivity of the site and its surrounding environment, including but not limited to, consideration of the effects on: The international and national designations on the estuary, including avoiding disturbance to protected wildlife both on the estuary and the levels, reversing biodiversity decline at Lagoon 3 and delivering net gain; The high archaeological potential of the Severn Levels and the potential for surface or sub surface features and finds. The open character of the surrounding Levels Landscape Flood risk The capacity of the road network, effects on residential settlement and the safety of other road users protecting the amenity of local communities, including along transport routes; ensuring flood and climate change resilience as well as the protection of air and water quality, and the distinctive rural character of the surrounding landscape and the public rights of way network, including the Severn Way, for interim states as well as end state. The existing reactor buildings, with their distinctive blue and white stripes that form a distinctive feature of the local landscape and are locally listed. Planning law requires that planning decisions are made in accordance with the Council's Development Plan. Nationally Important Infrastructure Projects (NSIPS) and related development, Parking Requirements, including Electric Vehicles. Such projects are often of a scale and complexity that may have wide ranging effects, both positive and negative, on local communities, the economy and the local area. It sets out what development should happen where and protects important natural spaces, buildings and streets. It does not address the emissions that come from the construction phase of the development or the transport movements generated by a development. In the last two years, we have seen a 5% increase in assessments for adult social care. There is also an updated online map which displays sites submitted during . Retrofitting buildings is significantly more disruptive, costly and time-consuming than designing buildings to be net zero carbon in the first place. To comply with this, the South Gloucestershire Local Plan 2020 will 31. However we believe the assessment will focus on the key criteria below: Local access to key services and facilities and their accessibility by walking and cycling; Proximity, frequency and access to public transport with connections to key facilities and locations (Bus and Metrobus and Rail); and Existing and potential parking management issues and solutions within the area. 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 South Gloucestershire planners have been clear that government-set targets for housebuilding in the area CANNOT be met by development in urban areas and . In 2019 the average earnings for a full-time worker living in South Gloucestershire was 31,609, higher than the national average (30,661). 28. The local authority is also the enforcement authority post consent. Updated technical guidance will be prepared by the Council to accompany the policy and explain how we expect applicants to demonstrate that their development proposals comply with the policy requirements. About the council. Geographical Coverage : Whole of South Gloucestershire. We will develop our partnerships and networks to engage directly with the most vulnerable in our communities, allowing us to better hear the voices of harder to reach groups, so we can have more meaningful conversations with them to understand their needs and can work with them in co-producing services. It is only in the development of flats where evidence has shown that it may be more difficult to meet a higher on-site target, so in these cases a 35% on-site target is set instead. 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. 2.6 A Stroud District Local Plan Transport Group was set up in 2017 to progress partnership working on the Stroud District Local Plan transport matters. Local Plan 2018 - 2036. 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. 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. preparation of a new West of England Mayoral Plan The Spatial Development Strategy. Evidence to support the policy can be found below: Jacobs Parking Standards Review Electric Vehicle charging in local plan policy. A detailed timeline for preparing our new Local Plan is set out in the Local Plan Delivery Programme (LPDP). Proposed policy on Radioactive Waste will be relevant in the consideration of decommissioning proposals. If you cannot expand the sections below, try refreshing your browser (Ctrl + F5). Small Businesses Highly entrepreneurial in the year to December 2019, 1,568 new small businesses started up in the district. People want to live here, move here, and start businesses and families here. By 2019 this had risen to 46. Strategic policies are those necessary to address the overarching priorities for the area, including policies that address cross-boundary issues. 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. 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. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) The scale and massing of the built form relates to the site and the local character surrounding the development, with minimal amenity impacts relating to overlooking, over-shadowing and over-bearing issues; b) Construction materials are locally distinctive, complementary when viewed as a collection, and appropriate for their use and function, with a focus on robustness and a positive visual appearance over time; c) The arrangement and design of windows (the fenestration) is visually attractive, balanced and functional. Although these changes are not reflected in this current draft, the council will continue to review the impact of the Order on the proposed schedules and will reflect updates where necessary in later drafts of this policy. These are published on our website and well provide regular updates to track our progress against those commitments, ensuring that we are transparent and accountable. Given the designations on the estuary the Habitats Regulations will also be relevant. Local councillors. are clear and accessible. It will be informed by early duty to co-operate engagement including with neighbouring Councils, advice from statutory bodies, and engagement with the project promoter. It is also accepted that due to the long timeframes, changing contexts and complexities of some NSIPs, aspects of impact prediction may be uncertain. Do you have any comments on the range and scope of policies we are proposing? The timing of this Council Plan is important as we put in place the support and investment to re-ignite our powerful and innovative economy, and make our places safe, attractive, and sustainable for future generations. Decommissioning of nuclear sites and release from regulation July 2018, Planning Portal definition of Proximity Principle. 24. Parking standards will form an important part in enabling and controlling car parking, including electric vehicle charging provision and bicycle parking provision, which alongside other policies will support the objectives to enable the new approach. Proposals that address the greenhouse gas emissions arising from the development itself and also contribute to mitigating wider greenhouse gas emissions (i.e. The Councils evidence shows that on certain sites and types of development much higher standards can be achieved on-site, and this will be encouraged. 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. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? The following list is based on input from consultation, engagement and topic-based assessments of existing knowledge of the site and large scale NNB proposals at other sites. The order of themes, issues constraints and opportunities set out in the table below does not at this stage infer relative priority at this stage In order to ensure the sustainability of development proposals and appropriate impact assessments, themes, issues and schemes should be considered in the round and cumulatively across the different topic areas set out below. However, if very detailed approaches are required, or different approaches are required above and beyond what we have provided, we may need to progress some policies with additional supporting documents. Specific on-site requirements for Major Non- Residential Development. 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. South Gloucestershire Local Plan - Proposed Submission: Policies, Sites and Places Plan (June 2016) 6. 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. Given the scale, complexity and duration of larger NSIPs, mechanisms and contingencies to enable the modification of mitigation to address unanticipated project impacts. Yet we also have attractive, safe communities with access to the city and open countryside. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? High streets, town and district centres, and local parades Uses and criteria, 53. We have provided examples of how we will put the priorities and commitments into action and we are backing each commitment with a bespoke action plan, setting out what we will do and how you will know we are delivering value for money services, which are making a difference for your community. Theme: Economic Development (also links to Education, training and skills below), Covid 19 has resulted in economic uncertainty NNB should benefit host community both residents and businesses Potential for impact on local businesses due to displacement of staff and skills Long NNB lead in times increase risk of changed local economic conditions Potential for boom and bust, Set local targets and encourage, enable and support local supply chain to engage with NNB procurement Raise aspirations and offer training and upskilling opportunities for local people to help meet NNB needs Contribute to delivery of West of England Local Enterprise Partnership Strategic Plan Surveys during implementation to understand the wider effects of NNB including on local businesses and inform any necessary adjustment to mitigation, Theme: Education, Training & Skills (also links to Economic Development above), NNB need for STEM related and support skills Potential for leakage of skills from local businesses Historic pattern of underachievement in secondary level education for South Gloucestershire NNB demand for education, training and skills likely to be beyond current capacity and offer of local colleges Capacity of existing nurseries, pre-schools and schools to meet needs of incoming NNB families Long lead in times for education to deliver on NNB needs, Early investment in local colleges to delivery high quality local skills and training opportunities for local people Initiatives to raise aspirations and attainment in local schools Active and wide promotion of STEM subjects from young age Contribute to delivery of South Gloucestershires Joint Health and Well-being Strategy, Theme: Community health and safety, community benefit and quality of life (including environmental health), Close proximity of dwellings to the NNB site Local people have ready PRoW access to the countryside and along the estuary The existing environment around the NNB site is rural, tranquil and peaceful By its very nature NNB development will have wide ranging effects on local people An influx of construction workers could place pressures on local infrastructure and services and result in concerns about community safety There is a need to understand effects on the well-being of communities during implementation. 5) Use, homes and buildingsDevelopments should be adaptable over time, in order to be able to accommodate changing work/home, employment and shopping patterns, and people potentially choosing to stay in their homes for longer into older age. This is necessary to ensure that heating systems are decarbonised and move away from fossil fuel systems (i.e. Creating well-designed places requires an understanding of a wide range of principles, across numerous disciplines. 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. 4) Nature and public spacesBelow ground provision for trees within public realm, such as root protection and growth systems, is often needed to ensure the proper growth and longevity of the tree. The policies within the Core Strategy were prepared to support the growth strategy at that time, with updates and more detailed policies set out in the PSP Plan (adopted in 2017). The objective will be to identify measures, projects and services to mitigate impact while enhancing the long-term well-being and sustainability of the communities and environments affected. In order to avoid impacts on social, health and community services and facilities serving existing communties, early delivery may be needed. In addition significant volumes of conventional waste such as concrete and hardstanding may also arise from the demolition and clearance of buildings and hardstandings. The NDA expectation is that land will be remediated and de-designated by 2103. Creating sustainable rural villages and settlements, Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. A3** Restaurants and Cafes and A4**public houses, 1 space per 5sqm dining area or public drinking area, Shopping, leisure, recreation and other uses requiring public access and employment, In addition to and equal to 5% of the level of parking derived from Schedule B, 1) Car parking spaces should be clearly identified for blue badge holders only and should be located so as to allow easy access to the building they serve, Shops, services less than 3,000m2 gross floor area (GFA) (A1, A2), Garden centres, including those attached to other retail premises, Motor vehicle services (garage, workshops, car sales, car hire), Student accommodation (Sui Generis/C3/C1), 1 (provided garage design accommodation both car and cycle storage). In order to address this, South Gloucestershire Council will encourage developers to enter into Planning Performance Agreements (PPA) and/or Service Level Agreements (SLA), appropriate to each project. 65. South Gloucestershire Council is in the process of developing a new Local Plan, which is the top-level planning document for the district, which establishes where we do and don't want to. Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. growth of South Gloucestershire up to 2027, incorporating spatial objectives, locational strategy, planning policies, and including the strategic sites and key social and physical infrastructure needed to support the development vision for South Gloucestershire. South Gloucestershire is well placed to take advantage of these opportunities, and is working with the other West of England authorities to achieve resilient, healthy, communities, an enriched environment, and a successful low carbon economy. Proposals should be developed through early and effective engagement including with affected local communities and the Council. At the same time, we must invest in and exploit opportunities to shift the balance towards prevention and help people to help themselves. Go back to the Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches document landing page. Designated Biodiversity Sites & Protecting and Enhancing Biodiversity, 20. Meeting the needs of our Gypsy/ Traveller & TravellingShowpeoplecommunities, 8. You can view the interactive map here. We have a flourishing local economy and high levels of employment and want to proactively support high potential future-facing industries. The Core Strategy was adopted on 11 December 2013. We want to ensure that all South Gloucestershire residents lead safe and healthy lives and that they enjoy good quality health and social care which focuses on their individual needs and enables them to retain their independence. The Local Plan 2020 will shape our district for the next 15 years. 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. 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. 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. Given the perceptions relating to radioactive waste, security requirements and limitations on future use that would be imposed by disposal of low level and very low level waste on site at Oldbury, that would endure for many generations into the future, but without any benefits of employment opportunities on the site, it is appropriate that Community Benefits are secured to offset these impacts. a) minimise end user energy requirements over and above those required by Building Regulations (at the time of full planning or reserved matters approval) through energy efficiency measures by at least 10%, or, achieve any higher standard that is required under national planning policy; and thenb) reduce carbon dioxide emissions by maximising the use of renewable energy generation sources on site and achieve an overall on-site reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from regulated energy use of at least 50%, unless the development includes flats where a 35% reduction is acceptable (for that part of the site only). 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 may be subject to change based on any changes to the National Planning System. The principles of radioactive waste management should also form an integral part of NNB DCO proposals. The appropriate level of cycle parking for different types of development is provided in Schedule D. New builds will be expected to meet the standards set out in Schedule D. Conversions will also be expected to meet the standard, unless it can be demonstrated that individual site circumstances/constraints will not allow this. Surveillance and overlooking into rear parking courts can be restricted by property boundaries meaning residents do not have a direct view of their vehicles. b) A new distinctive character has been created, based on positive features found in the wider area, including any heritage assets or landscape features, where high quality distinctive features do not exist either within or around the site. Although the current climate would suggest that this may be a reversing trend it is also clear that for many, the private car will remain the primary option of travel in the short to medium term at least. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. They outline the number and types of homes, jobs, services and facilities, as well as infrastructure that will be expected to be developed in South Gloucestershire. 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. Therefore, specific minimum targets for energy efficiency and on-site measures are set out in Clauses 2 and 3. New development proposal(s) will be acceptable where an appropriate level of cycle parking is provided. 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. Food and Drink Uses: Locational Constraints (including schools), 31. Site Allocations Sites & Criteria, CS4a Presumption in favour of sustainable development. Satisfaction in the area79% of local people are satisfied with their area. The following tables provide the range of policies which we intend to include in our Local Plan 2020. The map below shows the indicative areas that will require an SGC Accessibility Assessment. To inform the Councils largely discretionary role in: Pre-application engagement on Oldbury New Nuclear Build power station Responding to informal and formal consultations Input to the Examination and any responses to the Secretary of State. 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. The interim storage of radioactive waste and spent fuel on site forms an integral part of the operation and decommissioning of any nuclear power station and associated facilities. 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. d) Where possible, renewable and low carbon energy installations and infrastructure have been incorporated. 19. Completion of the current fibre broadband deployment across South Gloucestershire will achieve 99% superfast fibre broadband coverage by 31 March 2021. Where existing policies are to be deleted, this is indicated in a separate table. South Gloucestershire has the opportunity to increase renewable energy generation and facilitate development to enable a more flexible, smart, decentralised energy system. 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. 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.
