These however should be submitted on a Call for Sites form and include a clear map, along with any supporting information. Oldbury A station Decommissioning, 55. Satisfaction in the area79% of local people are satisfied with their area. 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. 5. The nominated site is set in a sensitive location on the eastern bank of the internationally designated Severn Estuary, with tidal mudflats and the existing power station lagoon to the west, and the historic, flat, open landscape and habitats of the Severn Levels to the east. The design of new development will need to consider ducting and provision for digital infrastructure to ensure it is well integrated into site design and development to allow maintenance and servicing and avoid negative impacts on the quality of places and spaces. NNB development would also be subject to legislation relating to hazardous sites including a Detailed Emergency Planning Zone, within which the Emergency Planning implications of new development would need to be considered. This will allow the council time to understand the potential impacts these changes may have. The Core Strategy, which contains the strategic policies for the area, was adopted in 2013. Stroud tenant voice picked for national role - February 28, 2023 My house Enter your postcode for information on recycling, waste collections and council tax. Core Strategy policy CS37 Nuclear related Development (covers the overall approach to nuclear related development, including paragraph 12 on radioactive waste). Clause 1b requires the residual heat demand of a development to be met through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat source. A drop down menu will appear with address options. f) The most appropriate and robust materials, street furniture and finishes have been utilised, to create a sense of place which has variety and interest, while not adding clutter within the street scene.
Current policies and guidance - South Ribble Borough Council Further information on the NSIP process, including relevant legislation, guidance advice and roles of the various parties may be found on the Planning Inspectorates website. 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. Additionally, we have sought to demonstrate the scale of the new approach we are taking to addressing issues affecting the most vulnerable. All land use, development, demolition and waste planning proposals should be set within the context of an agreed strategic masterplan. This will include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in our area over at least the next 15. Fossil fuel based energy installations will no longer be acceptable. This is also supported by existing information on vehicles ownership and use in South Gloucestershire gathered through the 2011 census, however it is recognised that this was gathered nine years ago and a new census is due in 2021. What evidence base will support the policy? Car ownershipLevels of car ownership and commuting are high. 1) Context and IdentityPara 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires that developments are, sympathetic to local character and history, including the surrounding built environment and landscape setting, while not preventing or discouraging appropriate innovation or change (such as increased densities).. 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. The Keep it Local principle will see us commissioning more services and support from local voluntary and community groups who are best placed to support a new community conversation. In addition significant volumes of conventional waste such as concrete and hardstanding may also arise from the demolition and clearance of buildings and hardstandings. We take this responsibility extremely seriously and are ambitious for the future of all of those we look after. Our approach will be backed by appropriate data-gathering and evidence as we seek to develop a long-term financial strategy aligned with these Council Plan priorities. The existing and future development potential of adjoining sites, or the potential for the area to achieve a coherent, interconnected, and integrated built form, must not be prejudiced by proposals. Do you have any suggestions as to how we can safeguard areas where there is potential for renewable energy generation (demonstrated through the RERAS) from sterilisation by other types of development/ land uses? We are required by the National Planning Policy Framework to split our policies into two types; strategic or non-strategic. However, other technologies would be welcome too where appropriate. Go to South Gloucestershire Council. This is above the national average (8.0) and the same as the South West average (also 8.7). We will enable a low carbon, climate and ecologically resilient district through our policies, programmes, and decision-making. Evidence to support the policy can be found below: Jacobs Parking Standards Review Electric Vehicle charging in local plan policy. 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. The zones have been created based on the Urban Lifestyles approach with a focus on designated town centres and key transport hubs. You can access the document and information produced to support the Phase 1 document below. 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). 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. 1. In considering proposals relating to radioactive waste the Council will have regard to other relevant guidance and policy including for example on the waste hierarchy, the proximity principle (see: Planning Portal definition of Proximity Principle), a masterplan for decommissioning the Oldbury site, as well as assessments of the potential impact in the wider community and environment, including those arising from alternative disposal routes. The appropriate level of cycle parking for different types of development is provided in Schedule D. New builds will be expected to meet the standards set out in Schedule D. Conversions will also be expected to meet the standard, unless it can be demonstrated that individual site circumstances/constraints will not allow this. 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. They will eventually be replaced by new policies included in the Local Plan 2020- but not until the Local Plan 2020 has been adopted. It sets stringent standards on energy consumption for heating and overall energy demand, and also sets design requirements to control the quality of the internal environment. We offer an advice service for developers and landowners to meet with us to discuss your Local Plan representations. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? But please see the Building a Strategy, Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve rural communities, Draft policy not yet available. 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. 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. Given the long term nature of decommissioning, spanning many years and even generations, it is acknowledged that plans for the site will evolve over time, and the masterplan will therefore need address both interim and end states and be capable of review and revision. This is available for 290 plus VAT (as of April 2022) and is subject to us considering it is appropriate. 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 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. Managing the Environment and Heritage 6 Managing the Environment and Heritage 6.1 This. There should be transparency of monitoring of progress against the DCO, its Requirements and the KPIs through the publication of a publicly accessible Annual Monitoring Report. This policy may also inform the assessment of proposals relating to the decommissioning of the existing power station, particularly in respect of identifying any potential for integration of proposed new build proposals. Where we have emerging draft policies to share at this early stage, we have provided this in this table too. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? Action must be taken in all sectors of society and at all levels locally, nationally and globally to mitigate, and adapt to, the impacts of climate change. It may be necessary for context and character appraisals to look further afield than the immediate locality or most numerous buildings in an area to identify and respond to distinctive building types and other features of quality, such as boundary treatments, plot size and shape, and landscape treatments, to inform new development. Locational Constraints: Residential Development in the Countryside, 46. As a council we have sometimes shied-away from highlighting the impacts of our work and what we have achieved, and at the heart of this plan is a new means of demonstrating how we are making a difference for you, delivering real value for money services. South Gloucestershire is an area with extensive Green Belt, Cotswold National Landscape designation, bustling urban areas and three unique market towns. The financial contribution required is set at 95 per tonne of carbon dioxide (or index linked equivalent from date of plan adoption) that would be emitted from the development over a period of 30 years. This will be secured through use of planning conditions.
Live: M5 southbound near Bristol remains closed after tipper truck hits In order to meet the objectives outlined in the plan the Council proposes to future proof development now in order to allow for an electric vehicle revolution. The public consultation on our plan to introduce restrictions on the rights of homeowners to convert existing housing into houses in multiple occupation in the Stoke Park and Cheswick ward, and parts of the Filton ward closed on 31 January 2023. On-site measures should be prioritised over carbon offsetting payments. We cant deliver this Plan alone; many of the commitments we are working towards will be delivered either by, or with our partners. Please note: at this stage, the existing policies set out in the Core Strategy, Policies Sites and Places Plan and Joint Waste Core Strategy will remain in place, and will be used to determine planning applications. For information existing guidance (to support existing policy PSP6) explains how to calculate the total residential energy use and can be viewed here (insert hyperlink). We have comparable relationships with Health Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups to identify health and well-being priorities but also extend this co-working to Friends of community park and asset groups so that we can support community activities and classes, but also share expertise and evidence that supports a broad range of future-funding proposals. Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) and related development, 12. The document includes a set of planning policies for the parts of the area outside Exmoor National Park. 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. The Council proposes that developments within the urban zone (seen on the indicative map below) must submit a SGC Accessibility Assessment. Any updates to local priorities, national planning policy and legislation, as well as new information relating to the SDS, will also inform the drafting of more detailed policies. 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.
PDF South Gloucestershire Local Plan We've been working in the local community to help older people for over 25 years. Development proposals for NSIPs are primarily assessed, examined and determined by National Policy Statements EN-1 and EN-6. To help satisfy Clause 1a, reference should be made to emerging Local Plan Policy Creating well-designed places which provides detail on requirements for energy conservation and sustainable design, and climate resilience. The South Kesteven Local Plan sets out the vision, objectives, spatial strategy and policies for the future development of the district. 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. A classified heat network is a heat network with a definite plan to become 100% renewable within a reasonable time scale, is constructed to a high quality (in accordance with appropriate technical standards, currently CIBSE code of practice), offers a fair and affordable price to consumers, and provides annual reporting on their performance and carbon content. The Council Plan is based around four key priorities which have been informed by a recognition of some fundamental challenges: notably driven by a passion to reduce our growing inequality gap and meet our climate emergency promise. The scale and impact of NSIPs may require an appropriate and comprehensive package ofdeveloper contributions to mitigate and compensate for any new and increased levels ofimpact and harm. 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. 65. 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. 14:27, 28 FEB 2023. e) In appropriate areas and sites, Urban Lifestyles principles will be applied, to make the best use of land by optimising densities and providing a mix of uses, leading to the creation of compact, efficient, and healthy urban areas. www.southglos.gov.uk/localplan2020-feedback. Option 2 of the policy is currently a viability off approach in that the current assessment of costs has not been included in the Local Plan viability study. traffic or workers for a relatively short period of time. Theme: Flexibilities, monitoring and management, Due to the timeframes for NNB projects, there is the potential for changes in the socio economic or environmental context of the project Since detailed design of NNB facilities continues after DCO consent, it is likely that design parameters will be set to future proof plans The precautionary approach to impact appraisal ensures that worst case scenarios are assessed, However, the duration of impact is also relevant to acceptability Due to the complexity of NNB development it is possible that unanticipated impacts may occur during construction and/or operation. Public concerns about NNB may arise during the planning process and implementation, The timely delivery of impact mitigation and infrastructure can be secured through phasing plans and triggers Contingency Funding enables mitigation of unanticipated effects Public confidence can be built by publishing regularly updated monitoring information on a public web site. A Community Impact Mitigation Fund can facilitate offsetting of unavoidable impacts that cannot be mitigated Community Benefits are a way of recognising the burden and disturbance of a development of the complexity, scale and duration of NNB that is borne by the host community. It is therefore considered important that a policy framework for a proposed NNB project at Oldbury should be developed in conjunction with the overall policy for South Gloucestershire, and that this policy should address ways of working as well as relevant considerations, constraints and opportunities relevant to the NNB. We also understand that above all, people want to see everyday services like waste collection and library services delivered efficiently. This will help applicants understand how the policy requirements fit together and what information is necessary to demonstrate how the policies will be satisfied. This may be subject to change based on any changes to the National Planning System. Further updates and evidence will be added to this page to support production of the new Local Plan. It should set out the overall parameters for the future evolution of the site, including: a) The existing, interim and end states for the site,:b) An outline phasing and timetable for worksc) The location and scale of existing and proposed structures, buildings, voids, boundary treatments and any proposals for their retention or modification,d) Demolition proposals both above and below ground;e) Proposals for new or changed earthworks, hardstanding or changes to land use and /or external appearance, including restoration where buildings are removed;f) Any locations, proposals and protection measures for onsite waste treatment, management and/or disposal of all types;g) The design approaches for new and altered buildings, structures and open areas,h) Strategic landscape and biodiversity proposals, including the management and or restoration of the mosaic of semi-natural and Priority Habitats for the benefit of protected Species across the Magnox estate, including the reinstatement of Lagoon 3 as open water for birds species associated with the estuary. gas boilers). 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. But above all, it is local. Local Plan 2020: Data and Access Profiles (DAPs) Data and Access Profiles (DAPs) To support production of our new Local Plan 2020 and provide evidence for adopted policies (CS8 and. If so, there will be a charge of 290 plus VAT. 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. Adopted Local Development Guide, March 2021 (PDF, 451 KB) It was subject to a targeted public consultation. The site includes Lagoon 3, which formerly provided open water habitat for birds associated with the estuary designations. It can also be topic-based policies such as open space standards, parking standards, community facilities or the allocation of local sites. The objective will be to ensure that only those proposals with a positive balance of outcomes in terms of reducing negative effects or increased benefits are consented. 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. Resistive electric heating (unless part of certified Passivhaus) is excluded. To do this, we increasingly need to have commercial ambitions and will continue to invest in land and property where there is a robust financial business case to generate a return on investment. These risks are likely to affect communities, businesses and infrastructure; health, well-being and productivity; water supply (for the public, agriculture, energy generation and industry), food production, and natural capital (which includes ecosystems, soils and biodiversity). Please refer to the map under Schedule A which outlines indicatively where these zones could be. This masterplan should set the overall strategy for the site, and provide the context for more detailed development proposals. South Gloucestershire is well placed to take advantage of these opportunities, and is working with the other West of England authorities to achieve resilient, healthy, communities, an enriched environment, and a successful low carbon economy. Theme: Flood & Flood Risk Management(incl. 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. Magnox is undertaking an ongoing programme of decommissioning. These groups bring different perspectives and additional local connections, strengthening our joint capabilities. secure reliable energy generation capacity; ord. 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. 6) Resources and lifespanThe conservation of natural resources, including land, water, energy and materials in buildings and development, will form part of the strategy to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, helping to provide well-designed places over the longer-term. The Policies, Sites and Places (PSP) plan forms part of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan, together with the Core Strategy and Joint Waste Core Strategy. All of these documents are used by the council when assessing planning applications. Infrastructure for telecommunications, 64. We will look after every penny as if it were our own, prioritising spending on the most vulnerable in our society and the services which are most important to you. Pro-actively address issues of public concern both actual and perceived. Ensure dovetailing of arrangements between the Magnox and NNB sites. Consider NNB Emergency Planning in the context of development proposals for the surrounding area. 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. Development within Existing Residential Curtilages, including Extensions and New Dwellings, 36. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 16. 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. An explanation as to how any necessary Environmental Impact Assessment requirements will be met and Habitats Regulations compliance achieved, should accompany the strategic masterplan and individual proposals for the site. Renewable and/or low carbon energy supplies include, but not exclusively, those from biomass and energy crops, combined heat and power, waste heat from industrial processes, energy from waste, ground, water and air source heating and cooling, hydro, solar thermal, solar photovoltaic generation and wind power. Nationally Important Infrastructure Projects (NSIPS) and related development, Parking Requirements, including Electric Vehicles.
The Local Plan is made up of a number of documents which you can view in ouradopted planssection. It will address the issues set out in the table above, providing where appropriate the Councils initial views on constraints and where possible potential planning, design, mitigation, legacy and community benefit opportunities that align with wider strategies, objectives and policies for the Council area. A NNB new facility would be expected to comprise very substantial development including nuclear reactors, cooling infrastructure, interim spent fuel, radioactive waste stores, other associated buildings plus grid connections, and additional construction land. 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. The Council has identified ten themes and associated issues, constraints and opportunities relevant to: the development of sustainable and integrated proposals for a NNB development, and the minimisation of impacts on our local communities and environment, and the maximisation of positive outcomes, community benefits and legacy. In the longer term land that will be needed for long term site clearance related activity, but in the interim may potentially become available for beneficial temporary uses. 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. 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. This information is also useful in understanding how once our Local Plan 2020 is eventually adopted, the existing policies will be replaced with a range of new policies that will set different approaches and requirements. Recent updates to national legislation has resulted in changes to the Use Classes Order. By 2019 this had risen to 46. Good public transport provision relates to a close / walkable distance to bus stops and or railway stations; frequency of services; locations that are served by the routes including key destinations and facilities not found locally, and journey times to those destinations and facilities. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? Neighbourhood planning in your community Neighbourhood planning has an important role to play as. ecological crisis and inequalities within South Gloucestershire. These are the minimum requirements for energy efficiency and on-site renewable energy generation that must be met. Mechanisms therefore need to be put in place to accommodate flexibilities while also ensuring that mitigation measures can be adapted or modified to address any impacts arising from those changes. We hope to consult you on a fuller range of policies in 2021. The Climate Emergency declaration has given fresh impetus to tackling climate change in South Gloucestershire, and the local plan provides a crucial opportunity to make significant progress. Life expectancy varies considerably across South Gloucestershire. 2. South Gloucestershire Councils Planning Performance Agreement Charter (pdf), Hinkley C Connections Project Examining Authority Report to the Secretary of State (pdf). The Phase 2 consultation ran from 7 February 2022 to 4 April 2022.
