The climate emergency and inequality gap present themselves in different ways across all the services that we deliver, and the Plan now sets these as the fundamental challenges to be met by all our priorities. We will enable a low carbon, climate and ecologically resilient district through our policies, programmes, and decision-making. To inform the Councils largely discretionary role in: Pre-application engagement on Oldbury New Nuclear Build power station Responding to informal and formal consultations Input to the Examination and any responses to the Secretary of State. This policy must work in combination with other aspects of the plan and also changes likely to happen outside of planning. As part of these, we will want to understand how individual proposals will relate to the wider decommissioning plans and uses, any proposals for new build, and explore potential opportunities for beneficial interim reuse and/ or the restoration of land, prior to the site reaching its long term and final end state. Urban Lifestyles is an emerging approach for South Gloucestershire, and is explained and set out in more detail in section 6 of the Phase 1 Issues and Approaches consultation document. Key Services and Facilities and appropriate walking & cycling distances to them will be defined in a proposed new policy Sustainable Travel & Access, which will be brought forward in future stages of the Local Plan. 06/02/2023. Suitable disposal options will also need to be appropriately regulated and controlled and comply with other relevant plans, such as the West of England Joint Waste Core Strategy. Council offices. It can also bring wider environmental and economic benefits, and improve the security of our energy supply. The Core Strategy was adopted on 11 December 2013. We need new development to achieve net zero carbon from the outset, to help mitigate climate change.
PDF Appendix 1 UPDATE TO LOCAL DEVELOPMENT SCHEME FOR 2013 - 2015 They should make sufficient provision for: They also provide a clear starting point for more detailed non-strategic policies that are needed to address a wide range of issues. Doing so would help meet the Councils carbon reduction and renewable energy generation targets set out in emerging Local Plan 2020 policy Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. Our response to the current challenges presented by Covid-19, with so many children and young people having been away from learning in a school environment for an extended period, will be to empower them with the knowledge and skills required to take advantage of the range of choices and opportunities available. Community benefits beyond the requirements of the Planning Acts may also be sought through the provisions of the Local Government Acts, other legislation, through voluntary agreement with the project provider, or in accordance with an industry protocol. 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. Our most important resource is our people, and we must maintain and build on our inclusive and supportive culture and working environment and positively promote equalities throughout everything we do. Current Environment Agency (EA) guidance (Decommissioning of nuclear sites and release from regulation July 2018) includes for the potential disposal of some Low or Very Low Level Waste (LLW and VLLW) on site, instead of transporting off site for disposal elsewhere. 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. 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. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire.
South Gloucestershire new Local Plan: Consultation document (February For all developments, (except residential developments and those where there is no on-site car parking provision proposed) provision should be made for motorcycles and powered two wheelers equal to 3% of the number of car parking spaces required. Significant weight will be given to outstanding or innovative designs which respond to positive, locally distinctive features. 33. 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. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy?
South Gloucestershire New Local Plan Phase 1 Responses A proposed new policy inclusive design will set out expectations in relation to accessible and adaptable development, including residential development, that policy is proposed to eventually replace existing policy PSP37 Internal Space and Accessibility Standards for Affordable Dwellings. You can read more in the Action Plans 12 16 document. Associated development is likely to include a range of both permanent and temporary works and facilities such as: Flood defences for the site and the surrounding area; Transport infrastructure including road, sea, and potentially rail; Construction worker accommodation / facilities; Modifications to the electricity transmission infrastructure; Training facilities, a visitor/ reception centre and off-site emergency facilities; Extensive landscape, visual and biodiversity mitigation areas. A strong commitment to equality of opportunity, value for money and transitioning to a low carbon future will flow through everything we do and will form the basis of an overarching plan developed with our key local partners. These contributions will be negotiated as part of the planning process,including through section 106 agreements and the Community Infrastructure Levy where appropriate. 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. traffic or workers for a relatively short period of time. 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. 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 respect of radioactive waste that may arise from a potential future NNB, National Policy Statement (NPS) EN-6 makes clear that each nuclear power station will have its own Intermediate Level Waste store on site until a national disposal facility becomes available.
Development plan | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council 14:27, 28 FEB 2023. 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. 24. 23. Current Parking Standards in South Gloucestershire can be found in the Policies, Sites and Places Plan PSP16 Parking Standards with elements in the Core Strategy policy CS8 and further detail in the Residential Parking Supplementary Planning Document. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? We also understand that above all, people want to see everyday services like waste collection and library services delivered efficiently.
