The East Fringe spans from the M32 eastwards, towards Downend, along the A4174 corridor to Hanham and Willsbridge. 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. In all developments where provision is made for taxi stopping the taxi spaces are required to include active charging facilities. 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. We're working on an update to the Bristol local plan. Development delivers design quality, including making a positive contribution to sustainability objectives, climate change resilience, and delivers biodiversity net gain. Access to homes, jobs and services should be promoted and enhanced through the design process. It is also accepted that due to the long timeframes, changing contexts and complexities of some NSIPs, aspects of impact prediction may be uncertain. We must re-double our efforts to promote equality of opportunity and build cohesive communities. Our priority is that this best start in life is available for all children although we recognise that we need to offer bespoke support for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. HeritageDistinctive place-based heritage stories and assets (market towns, aviation, non-conformist religion, Second World War, listed buildings and conservation areas). We agree that action on the climate and our environment is a fundamental challenge which must inform and influence all our priorities and commitments.In 2019 we declared a Climate Emergency, pledging to lead the way in moving South Gloucestershire to carbon neutrality by 2030. Call for Sites outside of consultation periods. If a future or legacy use for any temporary development or construction area is not feasible or appropriate, the Council shall require a scheme of works to be agreed whereby: i. We are required by the National Planning Policy Framework to split our policies into two types; strategic or non-strategic. Every day our staff and councillors speak with residents, businesses and other partners and these conversations helped shape our initial thinking and priorities. Take an approach to project engagement, assessment, negotiations and consultation responses that is proportionate to the nature, scale, complexity and implications of the project for South Gloucestershire and its communities. The Council proposes that developments within the urban zone (seen on the indicative map below) must submit a SGC Accessibility Assessment. South Gloucestershire has the opportunity to increase renewable energy generation and facilitate development to enable a more flexible, smart, decentralised energy system. On-site measures should be prioritised over carbon offsetting payments. B8 Uses and Distribution: Locational Criteria, 49. Planning applications and development South Gloucestershire is a fast growing area, we are committed to creating more and better places to live and work. New homes Between April 2006 and April 2019, 13,980 new homes were built, including 3,933 Affordable Homes. 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. 34. The fourth part of the sequential approach is for renewable energy generation technologies to be incorporated into development proposals as much as possible as set out in Clause 1d. Therefore, as the Local Plan goes through the preparation process, evidence for costs will be re-assessed, and depending on the evidence and feedback from consultation, the Council will move to implement Option 2. Plan:MK now. Overarching climate change, design, green infrastructure and environment approaches; Housing, employment, retail, leisure and other commercial development; Waste, minerals and national projects like Power Stations. 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. These documents contain a. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 2) Built formThe design and placement of built forms defines spaces and has a significant impact on peoples daily lives. Meet residual cooling demand renewably through: Set out projected annual energy demands for regulated energy use heating, cooling, hot water, lighting and power from the proposed development using the target emissions rate (from current Building Regulations Part L standards at the time of full planning or relevant reserved matters approval); and, Set out the projected annual energy demands for unregulated energy use from the proposed development; and, Show how total projected annual energy demands have been reduced via energy efficiency measures, and set out the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the remaining energy demand and the % emissions saving that will be achieved; and, Set out the choice of sustainable heating/cooling systems and how these have been selected, and the residual carbon dioxide emissions that the development will generate after energy efficiency and sustainable heating/cooling have been taken into account; and, Demonstrate how the incorporation of on-site renewable energy has been maximised to offset residual carbon dioxide emissions; and. 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. 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. 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. e) Good internal storage has been provided, which meets the expected day-to-day needs of a range of potential occupiers, by designing new homes and community facilities which as a minimum meet the Nationally Described Space Standard (or replacement of it). In line with this guidance, site operators are required to produce a Waste Management Plan, a Site Wide Environmental Safety Case, and strategies to keep the risk of radiation exposure to people as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account economic and social factors. 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. 6. It is also important that the SGC Accessibility Assessment does not overburden developers or officers and so work continues on developing the specific assessment. Overall health in South Gloucestershire is good and improving, and life expectancy is higher than the national average. 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. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. growth of South Gloucestershire up to 2027, incorporating spatial objectives, locational strategy, planning policies, and including the strategic sites and key social and physical infrastructure needed to support the development vision for South Gloucestershire. Given the Councils role as a Local Planning Authority (LPA), pre-application enquiries, demolition notifications and planning applications relating to the decommissioning process are expected to be submitted to the Local Planning Authority (LPA) during and beyond the Local Plan period. Have your say on proposals to improve sustainable travel between Thornbury and Bradley Stoke. Evidence will be expected to demonstrate how alternatives have informed the development of proposals including for any on site options, as well as the siting and design of and mitigation for additional construction areas and associated development and infrastructure; and, Expect evidence to be provided to demonstrate that brownfield land and/or redundant facilities have been used where possible; and, How alternatives have informed the development of proposals including for any on site options, as well as the siting and design of and mitigation for additional construction areas and associated development and infrastructure; and, Seek to ensure that consideration is given to the full range of the proposed projects environmental, transport and socio economic impacts: positive and negative, tangible and intangible, and the level and duration of those impacts over time; and, Demonstration as to how these assessments have informed the development and delivery of the hierarchy of impact avoidance, mitigation and compensation proposals; and. Decommissioning of nuclear sites and release from regulation July 2018, Planning Portal definition of Proximity Principle. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? Our approaches to strategic growth policies will be informed by the emerging sub-regional Spatial Development Strategy and supporting evidence base. But please see the Building a Strategy, Urban Lifestyles section for potential approaches which may involve places in the North Fringe, CS29 Communities of the East Fringe of Bristol Urban Area, Draft policy not yet available. It must meet the needs of all users, including visitors and people with disabilities. 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. Alongside this new policy approach will be an update to the Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document. Further updates and evidence will be added to this page to support production of the new Local Plan. Some areas have relatively poor access to higher level job opportunities, and low-level attainment and skills. Proposals will be considered more favourably where they achieve 2 or more of the following criteria: a. Geographical Coverage : Whole of South Gloucestershire. Given the proximity of Oldbury A and the proposed NNB site, and the potential for close interrelationships between multiple factors, the Council will continue to work with the Nuclear Decommissioning Agency, the operators of Oldbury A and NNB promoters in respect of decommissioning plans and the potential for integration with NNB. 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. 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. Priority 4 Realising the full potential of our people and delivering value for money. 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. 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. However, if very detailed approaches are required, or different approaches are required above and beyond what we have provided, we may need to progress some policies with additional supporting documents. Broadly, this new approach aims to optimise development sites, by making more efficient use of land in sustainable urban locations, as required by paras 122 and 123 of the NPPF. We will build on this strength, forging new partnerships and enhancing established relationships. 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. 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. The fund will be administered by the Council and will be collected via Section 106 agreements. role as consultee on the DCO and the preparation of a Local Impact Report;iii. More details about this emerging plan can be found here: South Glos. 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. 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.
