Given the scale, complexity and duration of larger NSIPs, mechanisms and contingencies to enable the modification of mitigation to address unanticipated project impacts. But please see the Building a Strategy, Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve rural communities, Draft policy not yet available. The regulation and permitting of radioactive waste is the responsibility of the Office For Nuclear Regulation and the Environment Agency. Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO), Residential Conversions and Sub-Divisions, 48. 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. Some areas have relatively poor access to higher level job opportunities, and low-level attainment and skills. Significant weight will be given to outstanding or innovative designs which respond to positive, locally distinctive features. This information is also useful in understanding how once our Local Plan 2020 is eventually adopted, the existing policies will be replaced with a range of new policies that will set different approaches and requirements. It is therefore possible to achieve a net zero carbon standard where carbon emissions from the operation of a new development, in terms of heat and power, are effectively reduced to zero. 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. Impact assessment should also be an iterative process, conducted alongside the development of project proposals so that impact assessment informs both project planning and design. In December 2019, the average price paid for a residential property in South Gloucestershire was 275,000, which is considerably higher than the regional (South West) and national (England) averages (253,000 and 243,950 respectively). Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy?

We are enhancing our Keep it Local approach and the way we work with communities so you have a greater say in the issues which are important to you and take more responsibility for what goes on in your area. We want to promote the extension of this local commitment to community and publicise the value of that collective approach. Further, for some specific groups within the local community inequality gaps are evident from early years, which continue throughout their education. In combination with other policies in the Local Plan 2020, the policy below may however inform the Councils review and assessment of the preferred principles for decommissioning that are expected to form part of any DCO application for NNB. 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. We are a people organisation. Where public realm is required or provided, it should be accessible, attractive, functional, safe, varied, and interesting, to encourage social interaction. 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. But we have also drawn on the opportunities that have emerged from the emergency response to the pandemic in looking forward to the new norm; identifying new and better ways to keep residents informed, and working with individuals and groups who have stepped up during this time to help communities play an active role in finding local answers to local issues. This form of parking solution will therefore only be acceptable where significant and direct overlooking from habitable rooms of properties is provided and where other more secure solutions are not possible due to site constraints. South Gloucestershire encompasses large areas of distinctive and high quality built and natural/rural landscape, which should be safeguarded and enhanced, and where possible, incorporated into development proposals. Mitigation primarily means minimising greenhouse gas emissions from the development. Clause 1a refers to the identification of suitable areas. This will include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in our area over at least the next 15 years. 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. 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. Nuclear power stations are national infrastructure sites, hosted by local communities on behalf of the nation. It was also clear that whilst the fundamental priorities for the coming years will remain constant, our approach to meeting them will remain responsive and as such, this is a live and evolving document.Specifically, you have told us that you would like to see how the Plan supports our response to the Climate Emergency and the growing inequality gaps in our society. 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. The most common technologies are solar PV and also solar thermal. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? The North Fringe spans from Cribbs Causeway to the east, to Junction 16 of the M5 to the north, all the way to Junction 19 of the M4 for the M32. People want to live here, move here, and start businesses and families here. Promoters wishing to submit call for sites outside of a formal consultation period or to submit additional technical information to support their existing call for sites should contact our Planning Policy Team using the details below.

We are proud of our heritage and want to do more to celebrate the areas rich history, our listed buildings and beautiful landscapes whilst maximising the potential of local destinations such as The Mall, Aerospace Bristol, and the Wave to realise our ambitions as a visitor destination. Protecting our Designated Local Green Spaces, 25. We recognise that council services are increasingly funded by council tax and business rates, which is why value for money plays such an important role in our decision-making. It may be necessary for context and character appraisals to look further afield than the immediate locality or most numerous buildings in an area to identify and respond to distinctive building types and other features of quality, such as boundary treatments, plot size and shape, and landscape treatments, to inform new development. As part of this Phase 1 document, we want to get your feedback on whether the range of planning policies we are currently proposing are correct, and if you have any views on the draft policies we are presenting at this time. This will need to include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in. e) In appropriate areas and sites, Urban Lifestyles principles will be applied, to make the best use of land by optimising densities and providing a mix of uses, leading to the creation of compact, efficient, and healthy urban areas. Renewable energy currently generated in South Gloucestershire delivers only 4.8% of the projected 2020 demand. A core group of Stroud District, July to October 2020: Call for Sites invited, November 2020 to March 2021: Public consultation Phase 1 on issues and approaches, new approaches for urban and rural communities, and a draft planning policy to inform preparation of our new Local Plan 2020, February 2022 to April 2022: Public consultation Phase 2 including: Urban Lifestyles potential site allocations and employment areas in Urban Areas and within Market Towns potential approaches to rural growth Strategic Green Infrastructure Renewable Energy Areas draft planning policies for growth, protection, site proposals and place discussions. At least one parking space per dwelling must have active charging provision, with the remainder passive provision. These are the minimum requirements for energy efficiency and on-site renewable energy generation that must be met. New and updated Call for Sites information and submissions are being accepted whilst the Phase 2 consultation is open. In 2004, 21 South Gloucestershire areas rated in the most deprived 20% nationally against at least one domain of the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. 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. A detailed timeline for preparing our new Local Plan is set out in the Local Plan Delivery Programme (LPDP). Infrastructure for telecommunications, 64. This Council Plan is ambitious, particularly given the pressure that has been placed on budgets, the uncertainty in the economy, and the very real impacts for those who have found themselves unemployed or facing six months away from education. 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 Core Strategy was adopted on 11 December 2013. 19. Joint Local Transport Plan | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council Joint Local Transport Plan Transport planning is led by the West of England Combined Authority working with the four. By incorporating comprehensive mitigation and adaptation measures, it is possible for new development to contribute to meeting the targets referred to in the policy on climate change. 5) Uses, homes and buildingsDevelopments at any scale must function well and create positive and adaptable living environments. The visual implications of any proposals for change would need to be carefully considered. Area Specific: Planning for the East Fringe of Bristol Urban Area.

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. 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. This masterplan should set the overall strategy for the site, and provide the context for more detailed development proposals. 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. 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.

The fund will be administered by the Council and will be collected via Section 106 agreements. You can read more in the Action Plans 17 20 document. Proposals for the management or storage of radioactive waste, or the disposal of low level and or very low level waste at the Oldbury licensed site, will only be permitted where they are strongly justified and it is demonstrated that all of the following criteria are met: a) Waste is managed at the highest practicable level of the waste hierarchy; andb) Regard has been given to the proximity principle, and the need to minimise impacts on communities along transport routes from the site, andc) The environmental, social and economic impacts are acceptable and the benefits outweigh any negative effects; andd) Mechanisms are put in place to ensure appropriate records are kept and knowledge of the location, extent and nature of material remaining on site is available to plan makers, regulators, owners of the land and decision makers into the future, ande) The site will be controlled and regulated appropriately to ensure public health and environmental safety; andf) Measures are in place to mitigate risks from flood and climate change; andg) Issues such as perceived risk are fully addressed and explained, andh) Appropriate Community Benefits are secured to offset the intergenerational delay in the release and restoration of part of the Oldbury site, and to counter-balance any perceived impacts and negative perceptions from the presence of LLW on the site. Going forward our budgets will continue to be stretched and so delivering on our future vision requires us to achieve the best outcomes from every penny of your money we spend, closely aligning our resources against our priorities and commitments. The Joint Waste Core Strategy guides decisions about where waste management facilities should be located within the West of England. We've been working in the local community to help older people for over 25 years. Due to the evolving and emerging position in relation to decommissioning and radioactive waste management and disposal, and the likely duration of the decommissioning process, it is envisaged that a strategic masterplan for the site would need to be an iterative document that is reviewed and revised in response to changes in the national policy, context, practice and permissions. Our priority is excellence in education and skills, ensuring equal opportunities for all. 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. It should achieve this by being Certified Passivhaus (or equivalent), which includes a renewable source of energy for heating and hot water and incorporates renewable energy generation technology, or through meeting the following criteria sequentially: a) Minimising demand for heating, cooling, hot water, lighting and power through building and site level measures; thenb) Meeting the residual heat demand through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat sources; thenc) Meeting residual cooling demand sustainably sequentially through:i) passive cooling measures;ii) mechanical ventilation; and finallyiii) active renewable measures; thend) Maximising on-site renewable energy generation; and then, if necessary,e) Offsetting any remaining residual carbon emissions via a contribution to a carbon offsetting project or fund within South Gloucestershire. The key risks of climate change have been identified as coming from flooding, coastal change, high temperatures and new pests and diseases. 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. Communities are becoming more aware of the need for renewable energy development proposals in light of climate change and the move towards a low carbon economy. For clarity, the baseline against which residential development will be required to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 100% is total residual energy use, which includes regulated (and unregulated Policy option 2) energy use. 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. Clause 1b requires the residual heat demand of a development to be met through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat source. Draft policy not yet available. Our new Local Plan is an opportunity to review our existing policies and begin thinking about what type of new policies and approaches will be needed in the future. Development proposals for NSIPs are primarily assessed, examined and determined by National Policy Statements EN-1 and EN-6. It replaces most of the. 3. Although the 1992 planning permission for Lagoon 3 required restoration to its former or an improved condition following cessation of its use, the biodiversity value of this feature is declining as the water area reduces due to scrubbing over. A set of short videos explaining the preparation of, and how you can get involved in shaping our new Local Plan 2020 for South Gloucestershire. 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. Locational Constraints: Residential Development in the Countryside, 46. 17. Go. This will help applicants understand how the policy requirements fit together and what information is necessary to demonstrate how the policies will be satisfied. Where existing policies are to be deleted, this is indicated in a separate table. Where it is proposed that capacity is provided for the management of waste from other sites, it can be demonstrated it is strongly justified that the facility will meet a need that is not met elsewhere that better accords with the proximity principle, and accords with the above criteria. We have also suggested nine priorities to address these issues. Bysigning up to our consultations, you can keep up with progress on the Local Plan, consultations and key updates from us. An appropriately governed Community Fund should be established to provide positive financial support for projects that improve the amenity, accessibility and social infrastructure of the Oldbury site environs. 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. 16. To do this, we have set out an overarching policy on climate change, which aims to ensure that climate change is considered at the beginning of the decision making process when the concept of a new development, including its location and design, is considered. The documents can be viewed below: Adopted Local Plan (PDF) [7MB] We have prepared an interactive version of the Local Plan. We will look after every penny as if it were our own, prioritising spending on the most vulnerable in our society and the services which are most important to you.
