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. HeritageDistinctive place-based heritage stories and assets (market towns, aviation, non-conformist religion, Second World War, listed buildings and conservation areas). 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. It is fundamental that we all share in the benefits South Gloucestershire has to offer, which is why evidence of a growing inequality gap* is such a concern and why giving people the means to turn this around is central to our priorities. Bysigning up to our consultations, you can keep up with progress on the Local Plan, consultations and key updates from us. In terms of mitigating or limiting the impacts from solar gain in developments, relatively straightforward design solutions exist, such as incorporating bris soleil, projecting canopies or the planting of deciduous trees. priorities set out in the Council Plan (adopted 2020); declaration of a Climate Emergency on 17 July 2019; the Covid-19 pandemic and the impacts this has had on communities, the health services and the economy; updates to the National Planning Policy Framework in 2019 with more expected to come forward in the next few years; there have been, and will continue to be, updates to National Planning Policy Guidance which supports the NPPF; and. 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. 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. 5) Uses, homes and buildingsDevelopments at any scale must function well and create positive and adaptable living environments. 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. Within the zones applications would need to be supported by an SGC Accessibility Assessment. 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. Where trees are provided within areas of public realm, suitable below ground provision must be made to ensure their longevity; b) Net gains for biodiversity, tree cover and landscape diversity have been achieved. 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. 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. The Council will also explore how a percentage reduction in car parking provision could allow a percentage increase in cycle parking provision, however the details of how this may work are yet to be determined. Our priorities are brought to life through a package of 20 commitments. 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. The pace and scale of growth in recent years has presented new opportunities for our area, but also challenges. Search the register of planning decisions We've matched the postcode to South Gloucestershire Council . There are approximately 6,000 children living in poverty in South Gloucestershire, and many more are vulnerable on account of learning difficulties, disability or circumstances influenced by their race or gender. This may be subject to change based on any changes to the National Planning System. We will continue to equip our staff with the tools and skills to do their jobs to the best of their abilities, harnessing the potential of new technology and holding on to improved ways of working to deliver even better value for money for residents and businesses. 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. New homes Between April 2006 and April 2019, 13,980 new homes were built, including 3,933 Affordable Homes. Given the Councils role as a Local Planning Authority (LPA), pre-application enquiries, demolition notifications and planning applications relating to the decommissioning process are expected to be submitted to the Local Planning Authority (LPA) during and beyond the Local Plan period. Local councillors. Consequently, Option 2, policy which requires residential development to reduce carbon emissions from regulated and unregulated energy use by 100%, is also presented. The Council proposes a new approach to parking standards that better reflects the changes that we need to make in how we live and work in the future in order for us to live more sustainably. Unregulated energy includes cooking, appliances and other small power consumption. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment is therefore essential to help achieve the targets necessary to mitigate climate change, as set out in emerging Local Plan 2020 policy, Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. In order to avoid impacts on social, health and community services and facilities serving existing communties, early delivery may be needed. For non-residential development, regulated energy use only is required to be reduced by 100%. 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. e) Good internal storage has been provided, which meets the expected day-to-day needs of a range of potential occupiers, by designing new homes and community facilities which as a minimum meet the Nationally Described Space Standard (or replacement of it). Work collaboratively with a project promoter to agree and ensure delivery of an appropriate evidence base to inform the development of sustainable NNB and associated development proposals as well as Council assessments , and. The Covid-19 pandemic has strengthened connections between the general public and the council, health service and other public sector bodies. Responding to the Covid-19 emergency, together with our partners we have committed new resources to supporting the vulnerable, isolated and those who have been disproportionately impacted by the outbreak, with a key focus on those from a BAME background, people with a learning disability, care leavers and those affected by domestic abuse. Given the designations on the estuary the Habitats Regulations will also be relevant. Evidence will be expected to demonstrate how alternatives have informed the development of proposals including for any on site options, as well as the siting and design of and mitigation for additional construction areas and associated development and infrastructure; and, Expect evidence to be provided to demonstrate that brownfield land and/or redundant facilities have been used where possible; and, How alternatives have informed the development of proposals including for any on site options, as well as the siting and design of and mitigation for additional construction areas and associated development and infrastructure; and, Seek to ensure that consideration is given to the full range of the proposed projects environmental, transport and socio economic impacts: positive and negative, tangible and intangible, and the level and duration of those impacts over time; and, Demonstration as to how these assessments have informed the development and delivery of the hierarchy of impact avoidance, mitigation and compensation proposals; and. 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). The most up to date census data outlines that South Gloucestershire has a higher level of vehicle ownership per household than the national average. This current policy applies a district wide standard for bicycle and car parking spaces for residential properties. Proposals for waste management or disposal should form an integral part of the strategic decommissioning masterplan for the Oldbury site, in accordance with emerging Local Plan 2020 policy. 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. Policy support is therefore provided to development proposals which generate energy from renewable or low carbon sources and infrastructure that helps with the transition towards a smart energy system. The provisions and requirements set out in this policy will ensure all development meets a high level of design quality, addresses the Climate Emergency and leads to more sustainable development, places and spaces. We have a flourishing local economy and high levels of employment and want to proactively support high potential future-facing industries. 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. It sets out what development should happen where and protects important natural spaces, buildings and streets. 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. As The Office of Nuclear Regulation land use planning advice in respect of emergency planning around nuclear sites including Oldbury may be found at: http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm, ONR regulations covering arrangements for the surrounding area Potential public perceptions regarding safetyRelationship to Emergency Planning arrangements for the existing Magnox station. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? Yet we also have attractive, safe communities with access to the city and open countryside. 3) MovementSafe, convenient, sustainable and direct movement between areas of the district is an integral part of well-designed places. New and updated Call for Sites information and submissions are being accepted whilst the Phase 2 consultation is open. 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. About the council. part one covers policies for managing new development these policies have been drawn up in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Practice Guidance, part two covers the allocation and protecting of sites and places within South Gloucestershire this includes details of town centres and site allocations, there are also links to local green spaces and heritage sites at risk. Area Specific: Planning for the East Fringe of Bristol Urban Area. Blank and inactive ground floor elevations should be avoided; and. We then engaged further on these through wider public consultation between May and July 2020.Through the consultation we received support for those initial priorities that had been informed and guided by engagement with local people and other stakeholders. We must ensure we are reaching all members of our community and key to this will be strengthening our relationships with town and parish councils and the voluntary and community sectors. 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. Local economic and community benefits should be maximised through agreement and early implementation of social, education, training, economic, environmental and transport strategies. Should pre-application advice be required in advance of a PPA, the Councils approved pre-application charges for NSIPs as set out in the Councils Charging Schedule will apply. 3. Policies in our Local Plan are the starting point for making decisions on all planning applications and will be the foundation for guiding development across all of South Gloucestershire. This Phase 1 Issues and Approaches consultation is the first step in preparing the Local Plan 2020.Follow the links below to read each chapter of the plan on this website, or scroll down to download the whole document as a pdf file. 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. For both residential and non-residential development, a sequential approach is set out in Clause 1 of the policy to guide the steps needed to achieve the 100% carbon emissions reduction requirement. Minimise cooling demand by reducing internal heat gains e.g. Education and qualificationsIn 2019, 38.8% of people aged 16-64 living in South Gloucestershire were educated to NVQ level 4 or above (HND, degree, higher degree level qualifications or equivalent), this remains lower than both the sub-regional (West of England) and national (England) averages (45.4% and 40%). You can access the document and information produced to support the Phase 1 document below. You can also register for updates by emailingpolicy.consultation@southglos.gov.uk. We have also suggested nine priorities to address these issues. 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. 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. 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. At this stage the map is high level and a further more detailed map will be required to support the policy as it is refined. These however should be submitted on a Call for Sites form and include a clear map, along with any supporting information. Call for Sites outside of consultation periods. 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. Accelerating the decarbonisation and decentralisation of the energy system in the UK is essential to mitigating climate change. How to pay any council bill, fine or invoice . The Guidance will also provide detail on the information required for compliance with the Energy Management in New Development policy and the related clauses of the Creating well-designed places policy. Retrofitting buildings is significantly more disruptive, costly and time-consuming than designing buildings to be net zero carbon in the first place. 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. The key risks of climate change have been identified as coming from flooding, coastal change, high temperatures and new pests and diseases. are clear and accessible. Where existing policies are to be deleted, this is indicated in a separate table. If the Council is to effectively respond and successfully engage with developers on behalf of our communities in respect of major infrastructure proposals, this is likely to require significant resources beyond the capacity of the Council. The plan comprises a number of separate documents: The Core Strategy document sets out a vision for future development in South Gloucestershire to 2027. 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. Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 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. 17. This will need to include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in. 23. We will ensure that children and young people are supported in their early years, We will work to eliminate child poverty across South Gloucestershire, We will support all children and young people to achieve positive mental health and wellbeing, We will provide appropriate support to facilitate choices for children with a learning difficulty, We will provide the best support possible to those children and young people we are responsible for in care, as they leave care and beyond as they begin independent lives, We will ensure people have access to the best possible information, advice, and guidance to support themselves and their families, We will shift the balance of support towards prevention, We will support the most vulnerable adults to maintain and promote their independence, We will enable communities to work together to help improve their lives and address the problems that are important to them, We will ensure that people feel safeguarded and supported in our care, at home and in their communities, We will clean streets and maintain roads effectively, We will lead the response to the climate emergency and deliver on our commitments, We will promote clean, affordable, high quality design of new and existing communities, We will plan to join up housing and appropriate infrastructure such as schools and transport networks that make it easier for people to get around, prioritising sustainable and low carbon travel choices, We will enable people and business to recover and thrive within cohesive communities that value diversity, We will demonstrate how well we deliver value for money in the services we provide and commission from others, We will increase our commercial operations to generate income to support council services and use our assets for maximum benefit to our communities, We will work as one council providing staff with the skills, tools, and support to perform at their best, promote equality of opportunity for all and live our values, We will develop our digital infrastructure to support residents and staff in day-to-day life. Further, for some specific groups within the local community inequality gaps are evident from early years, which continue throughout their education. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure. Through our Community Engagement Forums and our Local Strategic Partnership, we work closely with the Police to identify the local priorities and actions for maintaining community safety. Also, you told us that we need to continue with our long-standing commitment to target support towards those who are most vulnerable, disadvantaged or disconnected from our services by whatever means. Where we hope to develop policies covering new topics, this is also indicated. We will build on this strength, forging new partnerships and enhancing established relationships. Renewable energy currently generated in South Gloucestershire delivers only 4.8% of the projected 2020 demand. For the latest updates check our consultation page. 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. Where we have emerging draft policies to share at this early stage, we have provided this in this table too. Take an approach to project engagement, assessment, negotiations and consultation responses that is proportionate to the nature, scale, complexity and implications of the project for South Gloucestershire and its communities. We need to respond to messages emerging in the wake of Covid-19, for example, ensuring that people have sufficient space to accommodate members of their household and work from home without having to move, whilst protecting residential amenity. These shifting patterns make it more important to create well-designed living environments, with good storage spaces, natural light and views, with access to a range of quality private and public open spaces and public realm. Priority 1 Creating the best start in life for our children and young peoplePriority 2 Identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselvesPriority 3 Promoting sustainable inclusive communities, infrastructure, and growthPriority 4 Realising the full potential of our people and delivering value for money. These should include governance arrangements, plans and mechanisms to cover the full range of impacts, to assess compliance with KPIs, the adequacy of mitigation, compensation or community benefits and to ensure that any necessary adjustments to mitigation can be agreed and made as necessary.
