This Council Plan maintains our focus on being an efficient and innovative organisation, working closely with our communities and partners to shape and improve the outcomes and prospects for. 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. 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. minimising impact and maximising benefits and legacy throughout the life of this intergenerational project. We will lead by example, decarbonising our own operations and making them climate and ecologically resilient. 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 Local Plan evidence base includes documents related to the new Local Plan, including recent and forthcoming new evidence and background information supporting the Phase 2 consultation. The following hierarchy helps explain the approach to cooling required: The use of air conditioning systems is not a sustainable cooling option and should be avoided as it exacerbates carbon dioxide emissions and overheating risks. Updated National Planning Policy Framework in 2019; Climate emergency declared nationally and in South Gloucestershire with a focus to decarbonise travel and reduce reliance on private car journeys in carbonised vehicles; Levels of car ownership and commuting are high, creating congestion; Improving air quality across South Gloucestershire especially in declared Air Quality Management Areas; New advancements in electric vehicle and other technology making these options more viable; and There is a need to make the most efficient use of land, particularly in our urban areas. By 2019 this had risen to 46. As As a minimum, evidence should be submitted to demonstrate how development proposals:a) Are located away from areas vulnerable to increased flooding taking account of the latest available climate projections; andb) Incorporate measures to adapt to potential flood risk at building and site level, and minimise flood risk to the wider area; andc) Incorporate measures to mitigate high temperatures expected from future climate at building and site level; andd) Incorporate opportunities for supporting local food production; ande) Incorporate measures to optimise green infrastructure and enhance biodiversity; andf) Incorporate measures to reduce stress on water resources, and improve water efficiency; andg) Incorporate measures to improve public health and well-being. when there are predicted to be maximum numbers of e.g. However, where a NSIP is in an adjacent or nearby authority, effects may be less. These documents contain a. Firstly, the need to ensure that energy consumption is minimised through building and site level design measures must be addressed. 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. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? Parking to fronts should be enhanced by the use of finer paving materials and attention to landscaping between spaces essentially creating good driveways. For projects that will result in significant effects locally, appropriate governance arrangements will need to be put in place to monitor the progress of the project, involving relevant stakeholders, and data and findings published and reviewed at intervals appropriate to each KPI. Mineral Extraction, Working and Restoration, 11. 24. Additionally, we have sought to demonstrate the scale of the new approach we are taking to addressing issues affecting the most vulnerable. This will allow the council time to understand the potential impacts these changes may have. The council is currently working on a new Local Plan. It is proposed that the policy looks at a zoning approach to allow for reduced car parking provision in areas which are demonstrably well connected with ample opportunities for walking and cycling access to key services and facilities as well as good public transport provision. 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. Stroud District Local Plan Review; Pay, report & apply for Council services Pay it; Report it; Apply for it; Press room See all. 5) Uses, homes and buildingsDevelopments at any scale must function well and create positive and adaptable living environments. 25. Area Specific: Planning for Yate and Chipping Sodbury, 68. We have a valued heritage and green spaces and businesses that command high ambition and a presence on the global stage. 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. Pre-application engagement on these complex projects can require significant levels of officer input over many months or years for more complex projects. Site Allocations Sites & Criteria, CS4a Presumption in favour of sustainable development. 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. We have to accept however that we are likely to be in a period of transition which might well extend beyond the timeframe of the Local Plan. determination of discharge of requirements and/or planning conditions, and the Councils role as enforcement authority. It also requires, where any residual carbon emissions remain, contributions towards carbon offsetting projects in the local area. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. 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 development plan sets out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land in South Gloucestershire. Pete Barnard, Headteacher, Frampton Cotterell Church of England Primary School. 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. Both positive and negative effects are therefore addressed in the table of themes and issues, set out in the supporting text. At the next consultation stage, we will set out if certain topic areas are likely to be addressed at a national rather than local level, and consider whether local level detail is still required. Clearly defined and measurable Key Performance Indicators will be needed to assess progress and delivery over time. 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. 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. 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. To facilitate effective and timely pre-application engagement with the developer, the Council, in conjunction with relevant parties, will produce the following documents: This will consider the experience of other NNB projects in the particular context of Oldbury. Developments should be adaptable over time to reduce the need for redevelopment processes; b) Locally-sourced and sustainable materials will be used where appropriate to minimise energy use and embodied carbon emissions; c) Climate adaptation has been maximised, with resilience to projected climate change, through the orientation, aspect, and siting of development to optimise solar gain, while avoiding creating potential for over-heating over the lifetime of the development; and. These should include plans for phasing, and triggers for the delivery of key supporting infrastructure in order to secure the timely implementation of mitigation. These provide a framework to inform early engagement between the Council and a promoter of NNB at Oldbury. Council Plan 2020 - 2024 | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council Council Plan 2020 - 2024 This document sets out our plans for achieving the best for our residents and their communities.. However, it can occur by a legal agreement that guarantees to pay a percentage of the income generated by selling heat or electricity to the grid, into a Community Trust Fund, or other suitable mechanism, controlled by the local community for spending on other local infrastructure and energy efficiency initiatives. They can provide a more economical alternative to private car use and enable access to opportunities and flexibility that cannot otherwise be gained. We would like your feedback on whether we have provided the correct range of policies that we will need in the future to guide development and create exceptional places and spaces within existing and new communities. Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) and related development, 12. Are located in areas identified as suitable for renewable energy development in the technical maps (to be included in the Appendices of the Local Plan); orb. Call for Sites outside of consultation periods. Our values underpin all that we do and how we work. Life expectancy varies considerably across South Gloucestershire. The Magnox site is located in a rural, sensitive and visually prominent location on the banks of the internationally designated Severn Estuary, in an area of high archaeological potential and immediately adjacent to the nominated nuclear new build (NNB). This will help applicants understand how the policy requirements fit together and what information is necessary to demonstrate how the policies will be satisfied. 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.
