Council offices. 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. Clause 1b requires the residual heat demand of a development to be met through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat source. secure local economic benefits. We want to enhance private sector investment in our communities and amplify our voice to ensure we get recognition, and funding, from the Government which better reflects our contribution. The masterplan, including any necessary revisions, and individual proposals should seek to minimise impact on and maximise benefits and positive legacy for communities, the economy and the environment, including by: Securing sustainable and beneficial use and/or reuse and restoration of the site in terms of both interim and end states; and Protecting the site for high quality employment uses and/or green energy related uses in both in the near and longer term, while also: Ensuring that both the proposed works and their timing avoids impact on biodiversity designations and protected species, and where possible restoring, enhancing and managing Priority Habitats; Reinstating the habitat value of lagoon 3 for bird species associated with the designations on the Severn Estuary Conserving and where appropriate enhancing landscape character and visual amenity of the site and the locality including views across the local and wider landscape and estuary; Undertaking detailed archaeological and geoarchaeological assessment and investigation, recording and publication where development may impact on buried archaeological and environmental remains; Protecting the routes and amenity of the Severn Way and other PRoW links; Ensuring that any associated transport proposals are effectively controlled to avoid impact on local communities and ensure the safety of other road users; Demonstrating resilience to climate change and any increase in flood risk. The Council declared a Climate Emergency on 17th July 2019, which included a pledge to provide the leadership to enable South Gloucestershire to become carbon neutral by 2030, and also to enable our communities to achieve 100% clean energy across all sectors. Further to our early success in this area we have extended our commercial interests to provide an investment fund focused on supporting place-based regeneration, giving us greater control to directly deliver infrastructure and redevelopment in our town centres. The local authority is also responsible for discharging Requirements (akin to planning conditions) following the grant of a Development Consent Order. Clearly defined and measurable Key Performance Indicators will be needed to assess progress and delivery over time. Through the South Gloucestershire Local Plan, we can guide and set requirements for new development to ensure that climate change mitigation and adaptation is addressed wherever possible. Given the nature and scale of many NSIPs, it is likely that the full range of topics under the Environmental Impact Assessment regulations will need to be considered. This current policy applies a district wide standard for bicycle and car parking spaces for residential properties. 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). 32. Local Plan Phase 2 Consultation - South Gloucestershire South Gloucestershire Council 2. This includes pre-treatment, conditioning and decay storage processes prior to disposal to reduce the hazardous activity and volume of LLW and higher activity waste (HAW) in accordance with the principles of the waste hierarchy. 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. These groups bring different perspectives and additional local connections, strengthening our joint capabilities. Due to the proposed changes to the planning system set out in the Governments Planning White Paper, some of the policies we have listed (including our draft policies) might not be carried forward. A planning designation of Parking zones, for certain urban parts of the authority, to indicate where reduced parking provision may be appropriate, would be progressed as part of this approach. We have started exploring how we might approach new strategies and policies for growth (set out in section 5: Building a Strategy) but we are very much at the beginning of this process. Select any property or area of the District and find out about planning policies and planning restrictions that affect it. A smart energy system is a 100% renewable energy system which maximises efficiencies and reduces costs. 3. Is the current approach still the right approach? This masterplan should set the overall strategy for the site, and provide the context for more detailed development proposals. 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. Age UK South Gloucestershire is an independent local charity with its own locally elected board of trustees and is part of the Age UK network. New policies might evolve from existing policies, or cover entirely new issues and topics. But please see the Building a Strategy, Urban Lifestyles & Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve Thornbury, Draft policy not yet available. The Council would expect NNB related applications to comprise an integrated, navigable suite of documentation including well defined proposals and parameters defining the proposed development, and including clearly identified mitigation, monitoring and management plans demonstrating how all relevant matters identified in the table of Themes, Issues and Constraints have been taken into account and addressed. The Local plan includes policies for deciding planning applications in Bristol. Any lighting of the public realm or individual buildings should be appropriate to the intended use and functioning of the development, contribute to actual and perceived safety and avoid negative impacts on residents, as well as existing or proposed wildlife and ecology. 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. Other policies which may also be relevant, including proposed policies on radioactive waste, Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) and associated or related development and proposed policy on Oldbury Nuclear New Build. Specific on-site requirements for Major Non- Residential Development. The NDA expectation is that land will be remediated and de-designated by 2103. Designated Biodiversity Sites & Protecting and Enhancing Biodiversity, 20. This policy is a key principle behind the emerging development strategy of the local plan, and it is also reinforced and supported throughout the plan by more detailed policies which cover specific issues such as design, energy management, green infrastructure, sustainable transport and renewable energy. A detailed timeline for preparing our new Local Plan is set out in the Local Plan Delivery Programme (LPDP). Along with other relevant policies in the plan, this policy will be a material consideration in assessing individual planning and waste applications, notifications and any consultations related to the decommissioning of Oldbury power station. You can read more in the Action Plans 12 16 document. Where existing policies are to be deleted, this is indicated in a separate table. Local Plan Saved Policies; The Minerals and Waste Local Plan Policies; Proposals Map; Supplementary residential extension guidelines (RESPD) which provide information on what kinds of residential extensions are considered acceptable in Slough. 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. New development proposal(s) will be acceptable where an appropriate level of cycle parking is provided. 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. 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%). National Policy Statement (NPS) EN-6 identifies an approximately 150 hectare (ha) site near Oldbury on Severn as being potentially suitable for the development of a nuclear new build power station (NNB). Please refer to the map under Schedule A which outlines indicatively where these zones could be. To this end, we are updating our evidence base through preparing a Renewable Energy Resource Assessment Study (RERAS), and through doing so we will identify suitable areas for renewable and low carbon energy generation and related infrastructure. 87% of our primary schools are rated Good or Outstanding. 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. 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. Different standards for different parts of the district? We have also suggested nine priorities to address these issues. Clean Version for Interimpublication - South Gloucestershire We are committed to providing services like these to the high possible standard as cost-effectively as we can. 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. The credibility of monitoring information should be ensured through provision for independent analysis and verification, as well as the establishment of theme specific monitoring and advisory groups involving relevant stakeholders. This will include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in our area over at least the next 15.
