The South Gloucestershire policies map is an interactive map that displays the policies of the development plan. You can access the document and information produced to support the Phase 2 document below. Priority 3 Promoting sustainable inclusive communities, infrastructure and growth. Any good-quality existing surface materials, boundary treatments and street furniture have, wherever possible, been retained in situ. 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. 1. Clearly defined and measurable Key Performance Indicators will be needed to assess progress and delivery over time. Saved Policy CS4 Renewable or Low Carbon District Heat Networks will be addressed too. 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. Similarly for biodiversity, where alternative habitats may be required to accomodate displaced species, and for archaeology where advance agreement and implementation of Written Schemes of Investigation, early agreement and implementation of strategies may be required. The East Fringe spans from the M32 eastwards, towards Downend, along the A4174 corridor to Hanham and Willsbridge. Conservation Area Appraisals, Village Design Statements and The South Gloucestershire Landscape Character Assessment may, where available, in the vicinity of a development, also provide good sources of information that assist in discerning such distinctive local character. 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. 31. Designated Biodiversity Sites & Protecting and Enhancing Biodiversity, 20. In addition to contributions, the Council may also require packages of community benefits to be provided by the developer to offset and compensate the community for the burden imposed by hosting the project. To comply with this, the South Gloucestershire Local Plan 2020 will The NDA expectation is that land will be remediated and de-designated by 2103. Development within Existing Residential Curtilages, including Extensions and New Dwellings, 36. In the case of on-shore wind development, proposals must be located in areas identified as suitable and demonstrate community support. 17. Potential for integrated solutions between the Magnox and NNB including to the temporary and/or long term reuse of brownfield land and flood mitigation Maximise sustainable transport and construction methods Integrate Sustainable Drainage solutions into NNB site design Facilitate the use of waste heat from NNB for e.g. 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. 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. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? They outline the number and types of homes, jobs, services and facilities, as well as infrastructure that will be expected to be developed in South Gloucestershire. The Local Plan for South Gloucestershire is currently formed by the Core Strategy, the Policies, Sites and Places (PSP) Plan and the Joint Waste Core Strategy. Alongside this new policy approach will be an update to the Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document. 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 expected that decommissioning plans and interim and final end state proposals will evolve over time, and will continue through and beyond the Local Plan period.

South Gloucestershire Councils Planning Performance Agreement Charter (pdf), Hinkley C Connections Project Examining Authority Report to the Secretary of State (pdf). Ensuring we aim for high quality and progressive approaches is crucial if we are to positively address our declared Climate Emergency, build upon the lessons learned during the Covid-19 pandemic, and address inequalities across our communities.

What evidence base will support the policy? This is above the national average (8.0) and the same as the South West average (also 8.7). We must re-double our efforts to promote equality of opportunity and build cohesive communities. 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. 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. In line with the emerging Local Plan 2020 policy on NSIPs Council engagement in the preparation of a strategic masterplan on decommissioning should be appropriately resourced via a Planning Performance Agreement or other suitable mechanism. These discussions will contribute to the Councils preparation of a pre-engagement position statement or SPD for NNB, as set out above. Hydrocarbon Extraction (inc. Fracking), 59. preparation of a new West of England Mayoral Plan The Spatial Development Strategy. Renewable and Low Carbon Energy System, 19. 1) Context and identityDevelopment proposal(s) must demonstrate an understanding of, and respond constructively to the building and landscape characteristics that make a particularly positive contribution to the distinctiveness and identity of the area. The design process should be supported by a range of design tools, including well-considered and informative design and access statements which include context and character appraisals, design review panels, masterplans, and design codes. Our Compact with the Voluntary and Community Sector and the Parish and Town Council Charter will be complemented by a new set of Keep it Local working arrangements, an enhanced way of working with the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector to identify better ways to deliver services to improve the lives of local people. Beyond secondary education we will work closely with local colleges and universities to ensure further and higher education offers are accessible to young people and that local provision is sufficient to meet the needs of all new entrants and those seeking places to re-train and re-skill. 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. Area Specific: Planning for the East Fringe of Bristol Urban Area. 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. This Plan has considered the context of the significant challenges that were evident long before Covid-19; such as the scale of the inequality gap across our communities, the distinct attainment challenge for our children and young people, and the co-ordinated, multi-dimensional approach we need to put into action to deliver on our climate emergency commitments. Accelerating the decarbonisation and decentralisation of the energy system in the UK is essential to mitigating climate change. Local economic and community benefits should be maximised through agreement and early implementation of social, education, training, economic, environmental and transport strategies. The zones are areas of the district considered to have a high level of access to services and facilities and high level of public transport connections. South Gloucestershire Council to drop regional growth plan 15 January 2020 Getty Images The regional scheme outlined plans for 105,000 new homes A second council is set to abandon the joint. The Council proposes that developments within the urban zone (seen on the indicative map below) must submit a SGC Accessibility Assessment. For example, we know we need to set a new strategy and policies for where new homes, jobs and infrastructure will go, to eventually replace existing policies like CS5 (Location of development), CS12 (Safeguarded areas for economic development), and our approach to town centres and high streets (Policies CS14 and PSP31). The timing of this Council Plan is important as we put in place the support and investment to re-ignite our powerful and innovative economy, and make our places safe, attractive, and sustainable for future generations. Promotion of healthy lifestyles and well-being both for construction workers and local people Dedicated provision of facilities and services for construction workers to prevent impacts on local communities Surveys of local people during implementation can help understanding of well-being issues Provision of amenities for construction workers could become long term legacy for local communities Enhancements to the PRoW network to compensate for any unavoidable losses. Relevant aspects of proposed policy on decommissioning will be expected to inform the establishment of those principles. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? Heat pumps can also be used to provide cooling from the ground and water. This approach can have significant visual, community and conservation benefits. The West Somerset Local Plan was adopted in November 2016. 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. We recognise that in the short and medium term at least there will still be a need to ensure that sufficient parking provision if provided for private vehicles, on and off development sites. However, given the timeframes involved, such wastes would not be expected to arise until well beyond the current Local Plan period. Our values underpin all that we do and how we work. Managing the Environment and Heritage 6 Managing the Environment and Heritage 6.1 This. It was also clear that whilst the fundamental priorities for the coming years will remain constant, our approach to meeting them will remain responsive and as such, this is a live and evolving document.Specifically, you have told us that you would like to see how the Plan supports our response to the Climate Emergency and the growing inequality gaps in our society. Policies Sites and Places policy PSP6 Onsite renewable and low carbon energy. An improving picture at secondary level. 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. New and updated Call for Sites information and submissions are being accepted whilst the Phase 2 consultation is open. This policy is also supported by the emerging Urban Lifestyles approach, which aims to make efficient use of land in urban areas, by optimising development. 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. 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. South Gloucestershire Council is in the process of developing a new Local Plan, which is the top-level planning document for the district, which establishes where we do and don't want to. What are strategic and non-strategic policies? Voter ID will be required at South Gloucestershire Council's local elections on May 4 (Image: PA) A row broke out over the Government's 'rushed and ill-conceived' new law . It covers the general location, type and scale of development as well as protecting what is valued about the area. 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. By incorporating comprehensive mitigation and adaptation measures, it is possible for new development to contribute to meeting the targets referred to in the policy on climate change. It is also accepted that due to the long timeframes, changing contexts and complexities of some NSIPs, aspects of impact prediction may be uncertain. And in identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselves, we hope to raise living standards for the most disadvantaged. Minimise cooling demand by reducing internal heat gains e.g. Residential Parking Supplementary Planning Document. Strategic travel and transport schemes, 15. Promoters wishing to submit call for sites outside of a formal consultation period or to submit additional technical information to support their existing call for sites should contact our Planning Policy Team using the details below. Key drivers informing consideration of new planning policies and approaches include: As we begin considering what policies might need to eventually replace the Core Strategy and PSP, we start by discussing the range of issues facing South Gloucestershire. This should include consideration of the cumulative effects on impacts that are individually found not to be significant, so for example a series of biodiversity impacts that are found to be individually not significant, when considered together may cumulatively be found to be significant (Hinkley C Connections Project Examining Authority Report to the Secretary of State (pdf)). At the same time, we must invest in and exploit opportunities to shift the balance towards prevention and help people to help themselves. 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. We are considering how to safeguard areas that have renewable energy potential from development that may sterilise the resource. At least one parking space per dwelling must have active charging provision, with the remainder passive provision. 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. 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. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? All land use, development, demolition and waste planning proposals should be set within the context of an agreed strategic masterplan. 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. Analysing the data and liaising with our education providers, we are aware of a cohort of predominantly white children from disadvantaged backgrounds who are behind their peers in their educational attainment. The expectation, based on evidence, is that this policy option will be viable and achievable in the near future for similar costs to those tested for Option 1. 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. Go back to the Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches document landing page. These should include plans for phasing, and triggers for the delivery of key supporting infrastructure in order to secure the timely implementation of mitigation. 21. 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. Renewable heat technologies include air, ground or water source heat pumps, micro-heat networks using ground source heat pumps with shared ground arrays, and biomass. We will continue to equip our staff with the tools and skills to do their jobs to the best of their abilities, harnessing the potential of new technology and holding on to improved ways of working to deliver even better value for money for residents and businesses. The National Planning Policy Framework makes clear that creating high quality buildings and places is fundamental to what the planning and development process should achieve. (The National Design Guide). ; 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. We want to build on those positive relationships, encouraging community-focused engagement with the voluntary sector, businesses and other key stakeholders. You can get information on their website. 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 zones proposed therefore focus on parts of the district outlined as Urban Lifestyle areas. The four West of England unitary authorities(South Gloucestershire, Bristol City, Bath & North East Somerset & North Somerset Councils) adopted the Joint Waste Core Strategy on 25 March 2011. 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. minimising impact and maximising benefits and legacy throughout the life of this intergenerational project. Development proposals for NSIPs are primarily assessed, examined and determined by National Policy Statements EN-1 and EN-6. Retrofitting buildings is significantly more disruptive, costly and time-consuming than designing buildings to be net zero carbon in the first place. Providing land for Economic Development, 9. Development delivers design quality, including making a positive contribution to sustainability objectives, climate change resilience, and delivers biodiversity net gain. Low levels of unemployment in March 2020, 2.6% of the economically active population (16 and over) were unemployed, below the sub-regional (West of England) and national (England) averages (both 3.9%). 30. Core Strategy Policy CS37 Nuclear Related Development (partial)Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP46: Oldbury New Nuclear Build (NNB). We will build on this strength, forging new partnerships and enhancing established relationships. Where it is proposed that capacity is provided for the management of waste from other sites, it can be demonstrated it is strongly justified that the facility will meet a need that is not met elsewhere that better accords with the proximity principle, and accords with the above criteria. These shifting patterns make it more important to create well-designed living environments, with good storage spaces, natural light and views, with access to a range of quality private and public open spaces and public realm. Adele Davison, Apprentice Engineer, South Gloucestershire Council. Electric and Ultra Low Vehicle charging provision. We take this responsibility extremely seriously and are ambitious for the future of all of those we look after. 6. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. 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. 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. Our priorities are brought to life through a package of 20 commitments. Although the principles of decommissioning will be agreed at the project planning stages, due to the long timescales involved, flexibility will be required in how these are met. Our aim is to promote vibrant, mixed-use town centres with active public spaces, commercial, education, leisure, and cultural facilities. New development proposal(s) will be acceptable where an appropriate level of cycle parking is provided. 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. Emissions come from the transportation and materials used in the construction process, as well as the emissions from the operation and use of the development throughout its expected lifetime, including the emissions from the travel movements of users. 5. These priorities will inform the councils policies and decision-making. The built environment is estimated to account for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. 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. Select any property or area of the District and find out about planning policies and planning restrictions that affect it. The plan comprises a number of separate documents: Core Strategy. The document includes a set of planning policies for the parts of the area outside Exmoor National Park. In order to have sufficient information to be able to assess the complex effects that can arise from NSIPs over the significant number of years of construction and operation, plans for monitoring of the effects of the project should be set out in the Environmental Statement. It will include where. Below are some of the key changes that will influence a new approach. 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. The aim of this design policy is to shape and direct development proposals to create resilient and exceptional places, spaces, and buildings in South Gloucestershire. Where appropriate serviced land is left in a condition suitable for a future agreed use; oriii. We recognise that future development must support our climate change commitments and our Climate Emergency Action Plans set out how we will work with our partners and residents to ensure growth is achieved whilst achieving these ambitions: In this way, we will ensure South Gloucestershire is a place where people respect the natural world, historic and cultural environment and live low carbon, sustainable and healthy lifestyles. Further updates and evidence will be added to this page to support production of the new Local Plan. 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 existing nuclear power station at Oldbury ceased generation in 2012, and is now being decommissioned. For non- residential development, only one policy option is presented which requires 100% reduction in carbon emissions (net zero carbon) arising from regulated energy use. Mitigation primarily means minimising greenhouse gas emissions from the development. Up to the point of consent, the local authority role on NSIPs is largely discretionary and is as a consultee to the planning and examination process. Town and Parish Councils are integral to community engagement. In order to avoid impacts on social, health and community services and facilities serving existing communties, early delivery may be needed. The principles of radioactive waste management should also form an integral part of NNB DCO proposals.
