But aside from voluntary, public and business sector partners we have welcomed the role that individual residents have played in supporting their neighbours, their local shops and their community organisations. Further information on the SGC Accessibility Assessment calculation will be brought forward through a revised Parking Standards SPD. By providing an early view on potential constraints and opportunities, this will inform the preparation of an evidence base to underpin the preparation of an SPD, the development of positive and sustainable development proposals for the NNB and its associated development. 25. At least one parking space per dwelling must have active charging provision, with the remainder passive provision. We're working on an update to the Bristol local plan. Area Specific: Planning for Yate and Chipping Sodbury, 68. Future stages of the Local Plan 2020 will put forward a more comprehensive set of draft policies. With advances in technology, this is becoming more achievable for most people. Strategic policies should set out an overall strategy for the pattern, scale and quality of development. It is only in the development of flats where evidence has shown that it may be more difficult to meet a higher on-site target, so in these cases a 35% on-site target is set instead. Search the register of planning decisions We've matched the postcode to South Gloucestershire Council . These documents contain a. New homes Between April 2006 and April 2019, 13,980 new homes were built, including 3,933 Affordable Homes. 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. The Local Development Guide was presented and adopted at Gloucestershire County Council's Cabinet meeting on 24 March 2021. We have a flourishing local economy and high levels of employment and want to proactively support high potential future-facing industries. 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 information that applicants will need to provide must, as a minimum: Core Strategy Policy CS3 Renewable and low carbon energy generation, Partial replacement of CS4 Renewable or low carbon district heat networks. These would be focussed around designated town centres and transport hubs. Is the current approach still the right approach? This policy will be applied in consideration of both on and off-site issues, including impacts arising as a result of the transport of radioactive waste off site. Updated National Planning Policy Framework in 2019; Climate emergency declared nationally and in South Gloucestershire with a focus to decarbonise travel and reduce reliance on private car journeys in carbonised vehicles; Levels of car ownership and commuting are high, creating congestion; Improving air quality across South Gloucestershire especially in declared Air Quality Management Areas; New advancements in electric vehicle and other technology making these options more viable; and There is a need to make the most efficient use of land, particularly in our urban areas. Parking to fronts should be enhanced by the use of finer paving materials and attention to landscaping between spaces essentially creating good driveways. Earlier Core Strategy documents and representations can be downloaded from our website. The tables link each policy to one of our emerging plan priorities, for example, exceptional spaces and places. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? It does not address the emissions that come from the construction phase of the development or the transport movements generated by a development. South Gloucestershire Councils Planning Performance Agreement Charter (pdf), Hinkley C Connections Project Examining Authority Report to the Secretary of State (pdf). We will further reinforce our inclusive culture where everyone feels able to participate and achieve their best. part one covers policies for managing new development these policies have been drawn up in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Practice Guidance, part two covers the allocation and protecting of sites and places within South Gloucestershire this includes details of town centres and site allocations, there are also links to local green spaces and heritage sites at risk. 66. 32. 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. Creating well-designed places requires an understanding of a wide range of principles, across numerous disciplines. They will eventually be replaced by new policies included in the Local Plan 2020- but not until the Local Plan 2020 has been adopted. Planning law requires that planning decisions are made in accordance with the Council's Development Plan. Town Centres, High Streets, Shopping and Leisure., 10. In 2019 the average earnings for a full-time worker living in South Gloucestershire was 31,609, higher than the national average (30,661). For more information see our local plan review. Proposals that support the transition to a smart energy system may include battery storage facilities. These plans will continue to evolve to ensure they remain relevant in a time when change and uncertainty has become a constant. Area Specific: Rural Communities, Villages and Settlements, 70. When applied this will indicate whether a reduction in car parking provision is appropriate. Theme: Economic Development (also links to Education, training and skills below), Covid 19 has resulted in economic uncertainty NNB should benefit host community both residents and businesses Potential for impact on local businesses due to displacement of staff and skills Long NNB lead in times increase risk of changed local economic conditions Potential for boom and bust, Set local targets and encourage, enable and support local supply chain to engage with NNB procurement Raise aspirations and offer training and upskilling opportunities for local people to help meet NNB needs Contribute to delivery of West of England Local Enterprise Partnership Strategic Plan Surveys during implementation to understand the wider effects of NNB including on local businesses and inform any necessary adjustment to mitigation, Theme: Education, Training & Skills (also links to Economic Development above), NNB need for STEM related and support skills Potential for leakage of skills from local businesses Historic pattern of underachievement in secondary level education for South Gloucestershire NNB demand for education, training and skills likely to be beyond current capacity and offer of local colleges Capacity of existing nurseries, pre-schools and schools to meet needs of incoming NNB families Long lead in times for education to deliver on NNB needs, Early investment in local colleges to delivery high quality local skills and training opportunities for local people Initiatives to raise aspirations and attainment in local schools Active and wide promotion of STEM subjects from young age Contribute to delivery of South Gloucestershires Joint Health and Well-being Strategy, Theme: Community health and safety, community benefit and quality of life (including environmental health), Close proximity of dwellings to the NNB site Local people have ready PRoW access to the countryside and along the estuary The existing environment around the NNB site is rural, tranquil and peaceful By its very nature NNB development will have wide ranging effects on local people An influx of construction workers could place pressures on local infrastructure and services and result in concerns about community safety There is a need to understand effects on the well-being of communities during implementation. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. Visit our Call for Sites consultation page to access the Call for Sites form, find out how this will inform the New Local Plan and to view all Call for Sites received to date on our online map. Where existing policies are to be deleted, this is indicated in a separate table. Yet we also have attractive, safe communities with access to the city and open countryside. The majority of policies cannot be effectively drafted until further consultation, evidence and studies have been carried out. We are committed to providing services like these to the high possible standard as cost-effectively as we can. Unlike for example domestic waste streams, radioactive waste from a nuclear power station is not generated by that local community, it is generated by that national infrastructure facility and any on site disposal would again be hosted by that local community on behalf of the nation. 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. Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP16: Parking Standards, Use Classes Order (September 2020) update. Through our active role in the West of England Combined Authority and the Western Gateway powerhouse, we have demonstrated how we can work effectively with neighbouring authorities and others to deliver improved outcomes for the wider region. Natural environmentOur natural environment is under growing pressure from a range of factors including climate change, increased levels of pollution, changes in agriculture and development. We want to enhance private sector investment in our communities and amplify our voice to ensure we get recognition, and funding, from the Government which better reflects our contribution. As with any development proposal, applicants are expected to engage with the local community and seek to generate support and address any concerns highlighted. The need to protect habitats and species associated with the international designations on the estuary, including the seasonal presence of migratory species, may also constrain the timing, phasing and nature of decommissioning related activities and works. The Guidance will also provide detail on the information required for compliance with the Energy Management in New Development policy and the related clauses of the Creating well-designed places policy. The Assessment is expected to be undertaken by the developer as part of their Transport Assessment/Statement. Although the 1992 planning permission for Lagoon 3 required restoration to its former or an improved condition following cessation of its use, the biodiversity value of this feature is declining as the water area reduces due to scrubbing over. hot water, lights, appliances, IT etc. The Local plan includes policies for deciding planning applications in Bristol. New technology, different attitudes and direction from national policy means a new approach can be explored to help meet the numerous challenges that continue to face South Gloucestershire. Our priorities are brought to life through a package of 20 commitments. 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. This policy must work in combination with other aspects of the plan and also changes likely to happen outside of planning. Locational Constraints: Residential Development in the Countryside, 46. This is necessary to ensure that heating systems are decarbonised and move away from fossil fuel systems (i.e. The Phase 2 consultation ran from 7 February 2022 to 4 April 2022. This will also support the objectives of Urban Lifestyles and the NPPF, making efficient use of land and freeing up space that would otherwise be used for car parking provision to allow much needed open spaces where higher densities will make land in short supply. 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. The Council will work in collaboration with the NDA, relevant statutory organisations, the operators of the existing Power Station site and the promoters of nuclear new build, to agree a co-ordinated, and integrated and phased site wide strategic masterplan to delivers sustainable decommissioning proposals and beneficial use, reuse and restoration proposals as appropriate, while recognising the context of regulatory, strategy and guidance applying to nuclear decommissioning proposals. 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. We have needed to find new ways to deliver services during the Covid-19 outbreak, some of which have highlighted better and more efficient ways of working. They also indicate how we are looking to review, and eventually replace our existing range of planning policies. They are currently defined in policy PSP11 Transport Impact Management, the proposed new policy will eventually replace PSP11. To comply with this, the South Gloucestershire Local Plan 2020 will Parking Requirements, including Electric Vehicles, 62. Any proposal to dispose of such waste on site will require planning consent as well as consent from the Environment Agency. Also, you told us that we need to continue with our long-standing commitment to target support towards those who are most vulnerable, disadvantaged or disconnected from our services by whatever means. It is important that as much is done on-site as possible to minimise energy demand, and maximise renewable energy use and generation. As a council We Care. We offer an advice service for developers and landowners to meet with us to discuss your Local Plan representations. Employment rateTo year end March 2020, South Gloucestershire had an employment rate of 83.1%, higher than the sub-regional and national averages (79% and 76.2% respectively). Proposals should be developed through early and effective engagement including with affected local communities and the Council. Planning out space for private vehicle parking to create better places. Work collaboratively with a project promoter to agree and ensure delivery of an appropriate evidence base to inform the development of sustainable NNB and associated development proposals as well as Council assessments , and. Further, for some specific groups within the local community inequality gaps are evident from early years, which continue throughout their education. It sets out what development should happen where and protects important natural spaces, buildings and streets. Overall health in South Gloucestershire is good and improving, and life expectancy is higher than the national average. Proposals will be considered more favourably where they achieve 2 or more of the following criteria: a. preparation of a new West of England Mayoral Plan The Spatial Development Strategy. Proposals seeking to follow this route will be required to provide evidence from a Passivhaus Certifier that the proposed design would be capable of and is expected to achieve the full certified Passivhaus standard, and incorporate renewable heating and renewable energy generation technology, in order to be net zero carbon. The following list is based on input from consultation, engagement and topic-based assessments of existing knowledge of the site and large scale NNB proposals at other sites. The order of themes, issues constraints and opportunities set out in the table below does not at this stage infer relative priority at this stage In order to ensure the sustainability of development proposals and appropriate impact assessments, themes, issues and schemes should be considered in the round and cumulatively across the different topic areas set out below. EA guidance as per footnote 2 sets out examples of reuse, including filling voids on site or forming bunds/landscaping. 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. Passivhaus is an international energy standard for buildings. Flood riskExtensive areas subject to flood risk. What are strategic and non-strategic policies? 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? 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. Select the one which you are looking for and the map will automatically zoom and centre on this location. Where we have emerging draft policies to share at this early stage, we have provided this in this table too. 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. Below are some of the key changes that will influence a new approach. 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. 7. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. The map below shows the indicative areas that will require an SGC Accessibility Assessment. Through the likes of the innovation cluster that identifies as the South Gloucestershire Tec Arc, through the emergence of unique leisure experiences in the North Fringe, through our market towns and rural tranquillity, but also our transport and digital connectivity; we have virtues that we are keen to promote. These targets will most likely be exceeded in practice, and the Council expects on-site measures to be maximised as far as possible. We want to ensure that all South Gloucestershire residents lead safe and healthy lives and that they enjoy good quality health and social care which focuses on their individual needs and enables them to retain their independence. However, at this stage we think it is important to set out the range of policies we think are needed in our new Local Plan. Life expectancy varies considerably across South Gloucestershire. It will open in a separate window. The Council acknowledges the potential for NNB to deliver low carbon energy and high quality education, training, supply chain and employment opportunities and will work with a project promoter to maximise benefits and legacy for local communities and businesses. Specific on-site requirements for Residential Development. 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. A character and context appraisal should be provided within the design and access statement to support a planning application, and to show how the local context has been considered and taken into account in the design of the development. Proposals that address the greenhouse gas emissions arising from the development itself and also contribute to mitigating wider greenhouse gas emissions (i.e. Therefore, this policy draws on and supports a wide range of emerging plan priorities, other emerging policies in the Local Plan 2020, area based objectives, as well as the supporting planning documents. 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. Topic-based policies shape the quality, type and way we build new types of development.
