For more information see our local plan review. 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. Motorcycle and other powered two wheelers can offer an affordable means of movement for trips where public transport is limited and walking and cycling unrealistic. Policies, Sites and Places plan (PSP) - South Gloucestershire 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. Car Parking Standards for both residential and non-residential developments within certain areas are looking to move towards a flexible approach relating to the accessibility of the development location, with the most accessible locations requiring the lowest car parking provision. hot water, lights, appliances, IT etc. A range of other policies in the Local Plan 2020 will provide further detail and clarification to many of the points contained in this policy. Heat pumps can also be used to provide cooling from the ground and water. 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. There are a wide range of built and landscape characters which exist within South Gloucestershire, ranging from mature urban locations, such as, Staple Hill, Kingswood, Hanham, post war suburban areas such as Filton, Bradley Stoke, newer communities at Charlton Hayes and Stoke Gifford, market Towns with different characters and wide range of villages set within different rural contexts. We've been working in the local community to help older people for over 25 years. This policy must work in combination with other aspects of the plan and also changes likely to happen outside of planning. 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. 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. This will require new approaches from those set out in PSP38 (Development within existing residential curtilages, including extensions and new dwellings). The majority of policies cannot be effectively drafted until further consultation, evidence and studies have been carried out. Option 1 is viability on this means that the costs associated with this option have been tested through the Local Plan viability study. 4) Nature and public spacesDevelopment proposal(s) will be expected to protect and enhance the natural environment and its features of landscape, nature conservation, heritage, or amenity value, particularly in the AONB, in and around designated national and local sites. These priorities will inform the councils policies and decision-making. 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. Overall health in South Gloucestershire is good and improving, and life expectancy is higher than the national average. 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. The Phase 2 consultation ran from 7 February 2022 to 4 April 2022. We will continue to work with our partners on the West of England Combined Authority to drive investment in our town centres, following the approach currently being taken in Kingswood, the North Fringe and Yate, ensuring supporting infrastructure keeps up with the pace of development through enhancements to Metrobus, cycling infrastructure and rail services. Parking to fronts should be enhanced by the use of finer paving materials and attention to landscaping between spaces essentially creating good driveways. You can access the document and information produced to support the Phase 1 document below. In our most recent budget consultation, you told us that you are satisfied with the way the council works and that we deliver value for money. Joint Local Transport Plan | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council The tables separates policies into strategic policies and non-strategic policies. These targets will most likely be exceeded in practice, and the Council expects on-site measures to be maximised as far as possible. This masterplan should set the overall strategy for the site, and provide the context for more detailed development proposals. These should consider not only the individual effects of the proposals, but also any cumulative effects. Open Spaces within Urban Areas and Settlements, 27. NDA Radioactive Waste Strategy Figure 2 explains the Waste Hierarchy: preferred approach is prevention, then minimisation, then reuse, then recycle and disposal only when necessary. Specific on-site requirements for Major Non- Residential Development. In establishing a character or identity of a development, the surrounding context is important to consider and reference. Select the one which you are looking for and the map will automatically zoom and centre on this location. In its role either as determining authority for planning applications, or as consultee for applications to other bodies, the Council will take into consideration the nature, scale, extent and potential impact of any development proposal, and seek to ensure that: Development proposals align where relevant with the West of England Spatial Development Strategy (SDS) and make a positive contribution to the delivery of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan, the Joint Local Transport Plan and other supporting and/or relevant plans and strategies, including neighbourhood plans; and, A strategic and integrated approach is taken to the location, planning, design, phasing and delivery of NSIPs and their associated infrastructure and/or development so that it maximises positive social, economic and environmental outcomes, minimises negative impacts, and secures appropriate community and legacy benefits, and. PDF Candidate Information Surveillance and overlooking into rear parking courts can be restricted by property boundaries meaning residents do not have a direct view of their vehicles. b) A new distinctive character has been created, based on positive features found in the wider area, including any heritage assets or landscape features, where high quality distinctive features do not exist either within or around the site. Early discussions have also contributed to the development of a new planning policy relating to decommissioning. At this stage, the intention is for all of these policies to be contained within a single Local Plan Document. Proposals for development where the primary function utilises, promotes or perpetuates reliance on fossil fuels, are considered to be in conflict with the policy and will not be acceptable. South Gloucestershire New Local Plan Updated technical guidance will be prepared by the Council to accompany the policy and explain how we expect applicants to demonstrate that their development proposals comply with the policy requirements. Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP16: Parking Standards, Use Classes Order (September 2020) update. This current policy applies a district wide standard for bicycle and car parking spaces for residential properties. 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. Unregulated energy includes cooking, appliances and other small power consumption. These targets are necessary to help slow down the warming of the Earth and reduce the severity of the impacts of climate change. Mineral Extraction, Working and Restoration, 11. In all developments where provision is made for taxi stopping the taxi spaces are required to include active charging facilities. 2. How to pay any council bill, fine or invoice . We have also suggested nine priorities to address these issues. The relationships we have built through the Covid-19 pandemic are central to this and that new community conversation will grow further through the development of these very local-level relationships. People want to live here, move here, and start businesses and families here. The Local Plan is made up of a number of documents which you can view in ouradopted planssection. However, evidence [insert link] shows that costs are predicted to fall and other changes are expected to occur (for example, changes to the carbon factors used in the software (SAP) used for assessing compliance with Building Regulations) which will mean that it will become less costly to meet policy requirements. It may be appropriate in certain situations to retain and renovate existing buildings, where this forms part of a more sustainable approach to development, or where existing structures have local historic significance. Climate change is happening now and is the biggest challenge facing our society. 32. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) A layout, form and mix of uses is established which reduces resource requirements, both during construction and operation, and which contributes to the creation of compact and walkable neighbourhoods. 61.2 crimes per 1,000 population, lower than both the south west and England & Wales averages (67.8 and 88.9 per 1,000) respectively. For some topic-based policies we already have prepared early drafts of policies to share, covering the following topics: Working Policy Draft Available (Strategic), Working Policy Draft Available (Non-Strategic). Application of these priorities is subject to compliance with the criteria set out below and other relevant policy in the development plan. 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. Although the current climate would suggest that this may be a reversing trend it is also clear that for many, the private car will remain the primary option of travel in the short to medium term at least. Regulated energy includes space heating, ventilation, hot water supply and lighting. 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. New development proposal(s) will be acceptable where an appropriate level of cycle parking is provided. It also requires, where any residual carbon emissions remain, contributions towards carbon offsetting projects in the local area. We will need to plan from what we currently know, but also build in sufficient flexibility to enable our approach to adjust as new arrangements start to replace the current approach. 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. 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. Locals have their say on where Bristol's boundaries end Bradley Stoke Bookmark New train station. It is no surprise then that demand for housing is high and increasing. In the last two years, we have seen a 5% increase in assessments for adult social care. Active Provision:An active OLEV compliant chargepoint, such that each dwelling has the opportunity to charge their vehicle at the same time with a total charging time not exceeding 8 hours. Any such fund would be used to off-set the burden on the locality, and would identify potential legacy uses, including transport, social, economic, environmental and community infrastructure which would benefit the community in the long term. Planning law requires that planning decisions are made in accordance with the Council's Development Plan. Flood risk, drainage, water quality and water management, 24. Introduction: A great place to live, work and visit, How we will work: People, Place, Partnership, How we will measure performance: What it will look like, improving our resilience to climate change, enabling development of renewable and low carbon energy supplies, protecting and restoring our natural environment and encouraging greater bio-diversity. The principles of radioactive waste management should also form an integral part of NNB DCO proposals. 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. The outcome of this work will be presented at future stages or preparing the Local Plan 2020. We are externally recognised as a high-performing council, yet despite the scale of our economy, the attraction as a place to live and work and the increasing role we play as a destination to visit, South Gloucestershire is yet to establish a distinctive and understood identity. 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 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. South Gloucestershire has long been recognised as a great place to live and work, but with new attractions complementing our rich heritage and beautiful natural environment, growing numbers of people are discovering how great a place it is to visit too. secure local economic benefits. Since the disposal of radioactive waste on site is likely to constrain future land uses and activities and result in the need for security/regulation, waste management or disposal proposals should form an integral part of master planning for decommissioning of the site at Oldbury. This includes the integration where feasible of NNB with the decommissioning of the existing station, including the reuse of previously developed land, facilities and materials thereby reducing the extent of greenfield land needed for NNB and minimising the scale and extent of built form in the rural Levels and estuary landscape and seascape. In order to minimise impact, and reduce the risk of unforeseen impacts, advance surveys and assessments of baseline conditions should inform site selection and planning work as well as detailed design. We are actively engaging with partners and stakeholders to identify how we can continue to target resources to those most dependent on the council and ensure equality of opportunity.By their very scale, these issues cannot be tackled in isolation and require commitment from senior leadership, direct staff resource and a comprehensive whole community approach with residents and partners. 16. 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. 3. Core Strategy Policy CS37 Nuclear Related Development (partial)Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP46: Oldbury New Nuclear Build (NNB). ; avoiding over-glazing; and by reducing solar gain and external temperature through orientation, built form, massing, fixed, mobile and seasonal shading and green/brown/blue infrastructure; then, Maximise passive cooling through natural ventilation, diurnal cooling, placement of thermal mass and green/ blue infrastructure; and then. 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. The wider environmental benefits referred to in Clause 1b include carbon dioxide reduction. We want to deal positively with future expansion, by planning in a sustainable and integrated way to deliver high quality life-time and affordable homes, a dynamic local economy which supports forward-looking employment opportunities, key local community facilities and a convenient and safe transport network, which meets the needs and aspirations of both existing and new communities. These provide a framework to inform early engagement between the Council and a promoter of NNB at Oldbury. Parking Requirements, including Electric Vehicles, 62. We cant deliver this Plan alone; many of the commitments we are working towards will be delivered either by, or with our partners. Policies, Sites and Places (PSP) Plan - South Gloucestershire Significant weight will be given to outstanding or innovative designs which respond to positive, locally distinctive features. EA guidance as per footnote 2 sets out examples of reuse, including filling voids on site or forming bunds/landscaping. Locational Constraints: Residential Development in the Countryside, 46. South Gloucestershire is an area with extensive Green Belt, Cotswold National Landscape designation, bustling urban areas and three unique market towns. Local Plan 2018 - 2036. In order to deliver effective mitigation and/or compensation measures must be commensurate with the scale and impact of the development. In order to address this, South Gloucestershire Council will encourage developers to enter into Planning Performance Agreements (PPA) and/or Service Level Agreements (SLA), appropriate to each project. Children and young people are our future, and we are determined to give them the very best start in life. Our aim is to promote vibrant, mixed-use town centres with active public spaces, commercial, education, leisure, and cultural facilities. Further updates and evidence will be added to this page to support production of the new Local Plan. 17. They can provide a more economical alternative to private car use and enable access to opportunities and flexibility that cannot otherwise be gained. Often, adaptation measures do not just mitigate potential harm, but also offer beneficial opportunities a single measure can satisfy several policy requirements. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. It is essential that adaptation measures are considered at the outset of the decision making process, including the location and initial concept of the development, and also that current and anticipated impacts are taken into account. Any good-quality existing surface materials, boundary treatments and street furniture have, wherever possible, been retained in situ. But South Gloucestershire is a great place to live, work and visit. It is important to engage with local communities at an early stage in the development process. Given the importance of decommissioning the existing station, and the potential benefits of reusing the brownfield land to reduce the overall impact of NNB, when considering land use proposals at the existing Oldbury power station site, priority will sequentially be given to meeting the needs of: Decommissioning; Nuclear new build proposals; Other employment and/or green energy related uses. In planning this new housing, we must recognise the need to protect our natural habitats and biodiversity. 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). The interim storage of radioactive waste and spent fuel on site forms an integral part of the operation and decommissioning of any nuclear power station and associated facilities. For larger projects, cumulative impact assessment is a particularly important consideration, including across within and across topic areas and in combination with other plans and projects. For example, a non-strategic policy may be a detailed policy for a specific area like Kingwood, where the Urban Lifestyles approach is being considered, or growth in a rural village or market town. Proposals that include an element of community ownership, or are from the community energy sector, are encouraged. The zones have been created based on the Urban Lifestyles approach with a focus on designated town centres and key transport hubs. 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. Appropriate monitoring arrangements and adequately resourced Management and Delivery Plans for both the Construction and Operational phases of NSIPs will be required to ensure that socio-economic, transport and environmental objectives are met during both construction and operation. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire, called the Local Plan 2020. 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. Select any property or area of the District and find out about planning policies and planning restrictions that affect it. 3) MovementDevelopment proposals must create or enable sustainable connections to destinations, places and communities, both within the site and beyond its boundaries. Consequently, Option 2, policy which requires residential development to reduce carbon emissions from regulated and unregulated energy use by 100%, is also presented.
