The zones have been created based on the Urban Lifestyles approach with a focus on designated town centres and key transport hubs. For residential development, two policy options are presented to achieve net zero carbon. To give an idea of the type of detail which might come forward, we have set out the existing planning policies that currently address the headline topic and priority issue. And fulfilling the Councils post consent role, including in determining: Planning applications for Oldbury New Nuclear Build power station, related development made to the Council Post consent applications for discharge of DCO requirements and planning conditions. This Phase 1. And in identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselves, we hope to raise living standards for the most disadvantaged. These priorities will inform the councils policies and decision-making. Nationally Important Infrastructure Projects (NSIPS) and related development, Parking Requirements, including Electric Vehicles. Local plan policies provide direction and clarity on where development is expected to take place. Strategic policies are those necessary to address the overarching priorities for the area, including policies that address cross-boundary issues. 34. Ensuring we aim for high quality and progressive approaches is crucial if we are to positively address our declared Climate Emergency, build upon the lessons learned during the Covid-19 pandemic, and address inequalities across our communities. This will need to include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in. We have delivered thousands of new homes to help meet current requirements, but demand is set to intensify further over the coming years. 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. The Phase 2 consultation ran from 7 February 2022 to 4 April 2022. Contributions to the Local Authority and/or other appropriate and agreed organisations to mitigate or where appropriate offset any adverse impacts, additional demands and/or harm caused by the project. 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. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) The layout integrates with existing or permitted adjacent development and connects with the wider network of foot, cycle and public transport links, including Public Rights of Way and strategic green infrastructure corridors/routes; b) Safe and sustainable access to existing and proposed Key Services & Facilities is provided or enhanced, through a range of transport options, giving priority to sustainable travel modes, such as walking and cycling; c) Permeable space(s) and accessible route(s) through a development have been created, allowing clear, safe, and direct movement, taking account of desire lines where appropriate; and. Accelerating the decarbonisation and decentralisation of the energy system in the UK is essential to mitigating climate change. The Local plan includes policies for deciding planning applications in Bristol. 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. This is also supported by existing information on vehicles ownership and use in South Gloucestershire gathered through the 2011 census, however it is recognised that this was gathered nine years ago and a new census is due in 2021. 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. Local Plan 2018 - 2036. The establishment of agreed design parameters, and well defined, effective and long term monitoring arrangements, mechanisms and KPIs are key to this. 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. High streets, town and district centres, and local parades Uses and criteria, 53. If you require assistance in accessing or using the interactive map, contact the Strategic Planning Policy and Specialist Advice Team on 01454 866015 or emailPlanningPolicy@southglos.gov.uk. d) Any parking provided is well-designed, conveniently sited, safe, overlooked, well-landscaped and sensitively integrated into the public realm or built form, so that it does not dominate the street scene. This will need to include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in. As a NSIP, the primary policies against which an application will be determined are the overarching energy NPS EN-1, along with technology-specific energy policy for nuclear power generation and other relevant national policy such as the NPPF. This is particularly true of those policies which set out, or are linked to, the strategy for growth/change of homes, jobs, shops and transport. 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. minimising impact and maximising benefits and legacy throughout the life of this intergenerational project. Significant weight will be given to outstanding or innovative designs which respond to positive, locally distinctive features. 16. 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. 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. Our values underpin all that we do and how we work. Locational Constraints: Residential Development in the Countryside, 46. The expectation, based on evidence, is that this policy option will be viable and achievable in the near future for similar costs to those tested for Option 1. 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. To help satisfy Clause 1a, reference should be made to emerging Local Plan Policy Creating well-designed places which provides detail on requirements for energy conservation and sustainable design, and climate resilience. It is a big challenge, but we recognise the threats to our area extensive parts of South Gloucestershire are subject to flood risk and the impacts of drought, high winds, and other extreme weather events due to climate change.At the same time, our natural environment and biodiversity are under growing pressure presenting significant risks for food production, our health and economy.We have made addressing these crises a central priority and overarching theme across our Climate Emergency Action Plan and, working with our partners, residents and communities, we will take action to protect, restore and improve our natural surroundings with a focus on woodland, grassland and wetland habitats. 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. It can also be topic-based policies such as open space standards, parking standards, community facilities or the allocation of local sites. 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. 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. This will help applicants understand how the policy requirements fit together and what information is necessary to demonstrate how the policies will be satisfied. Strategic travel and transport schemes, 15. Fossil fuel based energy installations will no longer be acceptable. Decommissioning involves activities such as the removal and temporary storage and/or disposal of hazardous waste such as asbestos and radioactive waste, the rationalisation of buildings and reuse of land for activities relating to of decommissioning, and the demolition of those that are no longer needed. We're working on an update to the Bristol local plan. Proposals seeking to follow this route will be required to provide evidence from a Passivhaus Certifier that the proposed design would be capable of and is expected to achieve the full certified Passivhaus standard, and incorporate renewable heating and renewable energy generation technology, in order to be net zero carbon. We want to promote the extension of this local commitment to community and publicise the value of that collective approach. While acknowledging that a proposed NNB power station at Oldbury has the potential to bring benefits to businesses, employment and the community, and make a significant contribution in terms of low carbon energy, there a number of fundamental concerns about potential negative effects. You can read more in the Action Plans 1 6 document. As a comparator that indicates the likely scale and complexity of large scale NNB, recent proposals for Wylfa Newydd on the Isle of Anglesey indicate: A nominated 236ha site, and a total site development/ construction area of 409ha Estimated 9 year construction period, and 60 years operation, 20 years decommissioning Design parameters for aspects of the development, with later details to be approved by the local authority A theoretical maximum of 9000 construction workers at peak 850 permanent jobs plus 1000 for periodic reactor maintenance On site accommodation for up to 4000 construction workers, Park and Ride for 1900 cars, and a logistics centre with capacity for up to 100 HGV Diversion of the coastal path inland around the NNB site Extensive on site landscaped areas plus off site ecological compensation areas Long term radioactive waste and spent fuel stores Site preparation and online highway improvement applications to the local authority. Locals have their say on where Bristol's boundaries end Bradley Stoke Bookmark New train station. We also want to open up new channels of communication, both digitally and through our face to face engagement and service interactions so we can reach all of our residents. This current policy applies a district wide standard for bicycle and car parking spaces for residential properties. 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. High quality and fast digital infrastructure will be expected in new development, the expectation and criteria of which will be contained in a proposed new policy Digital Connectivity & Broadband, which will be brought forward in future stages of the Local Plan 2020. These documents contain a. But above all, it is local. 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 . 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. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved over recent years, continuing to offer high quality services at a time when we have delivered over a hundred million pounds in annual savings. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? We have an ageing population but recognise that most people as they get older want to remain independent for as long as possible.
