The establishment of agreed design parameters, and well defined, effective and long term monitoring arrangements, mechanisms and KPIs are key to this. This could include the provision of new facilities or the upgrading of existing. Whilst we are exploring innovative digital methods by which to present our services and engage local people, we recognise the value of continued face-to-face conversations and maximising the involvement of community-based groups. This will be updated as part of the Development Plan and particularly provide further guidance on the following: Further guidance on the Accessibility Assessment and Zoning approach Further guidance on technical standards for parking provision, Core Strategy Policy CS36 Proposals for Major Infrastructure Projects. Current Parking Standards in South Gloucestershire can be found in the Policies, Sites and Places Plan PSP16 Parking Standards with elements in the Core Strategy policy CS8 and further detail in the Residential Parking Supplementary Planning Document. These documents contain a. 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.
Plan:MK now. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 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. Local Plan 2018 - 2036. Given the importance of decommissioning, it is recognised that priority should be given to uses that facilitate the decommissioning of the existing station. Specific on-site requirements for Residential Development. Stroud District Local Plan Review; Pay, report & apply for Council services Pay it; Report it; Apply for it; Press room See all. The pace and scale of growth in recent years has presented new opportunities for our area, but also challenges. 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. We are externally recognised as a high-performing council, yet despite the scale of our economy, the attraction as a place to live and work and the increasing role we play as a destination to visit, South Gloucestershire is yet to establish a distinctive and understood identity. In addition to topic by topic assessments, cumulative assessments will be required, including to understand the full range of effects on individual communities, through the preparation of Community Impact Assessments. 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)). 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. For example, given the need to raise awareness of business opportunities to ensure that local companies can meet the requirements of the nuclear industry; as well as the need to ensure the availability of suitably qualified workforce both for construction and operation, early engagement in the pre-application phase will be required in respect of eduction, training, skills and supply chain strategies. It is important that as much is done on-site as possible to minimise energy demand, and maximise renewable energy use and generation. Creating well-designed places requires an understanding of a wide range of principles, across numerous disciplines. 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. 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. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) High quality and well-considered green and blue infrastructure has been included to an appropriate level, and appropriately designed to contribute towards the vision and strategic objectives of the locality. 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. The local authority is also the enforcement authority post consent. Please refer to the map under Schedule A which outlines indicatively where these zones could be. Any good-quality existing surface materials, boundary treatments and street furniture have, wherever possible, been retained in situ.
The local plan for Slough - Slough Borough Council A proposed new policy inclusive design will set out expectations in relation to accessible and adaptable development, including residential development, that policy is proposed to eventually replace existing policy PSP37 Internal Space and Accessibility Standards for Affordable Dwellings. The West Somerset Local Plan was adopted in November 2016. It is a broad, holistic approach to the energy system which integrates measures such as energy efficiency, energy storage, demand side response, and renewable energy generation (micro and macro scales) to create a flexible system that meets the need for energy in a timely, efficient and cost effective manner. * In 2004, 21 South Gloucestershire areas rated in the most deprived 20% nationally against at least one domain of the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. when there are predicted to be maximum numbers of e.g.
Parishioners & Planning | Westerleigh Parish Council Proposals should be developed through early and effective engagement including with affected local communities and the Council. But please see the Building a Strategy, Urban Lifestyles section for potential approaches which may involve places in the East Fringe, CS30 Yate and Chipping Sodbury CS31 North Yate new neighbourhood, Draft policy not yet available. Core Strategy Policy CS37 Nuclear Related Development (partial)Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP46: Oldbury New Nuclear Build (NNB). Magnox is undertaking an ongoing programme of decommissioning. Saved Policy CS4 Renewable or Low Carbon District Heat Networks will be addressed too. 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. People want to live here, move here, and start businesses and families here. 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. This is particularly true of those policies which set out, or are linked to, the strategy for growth/change of homes, jobs, shops and transport. Where visual screening is required for construction operations, advance planting schemes may be required. We need to respond to messages emerging in the wake of Covid-19, for example, ensuring that people have sufficient space to accommodate members of their household and work from home without having to move, whilst protecting residential amenity. However, where a NSIP is in an adjacent or nearby authority, effects may be less. These groups bring different perspectives and additional local connections, strengthening our joint capabilities. 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. 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. More details about this emerging plan can be found here: South Glos. 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. These would be focussed around designated town centres and transport hubs. 61.2 crimes per 1,000 population, lower than both the south west and England & Wales averages (67.8 and 88.9 per 1,000) respectively. 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. To inform the Councils largely discretionary role in: Pre-application engagement on Oldbury New Nuclear Build power station Responding to informal and formal consultations Input to the Examination and any responses to the Secretary of State. 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. Locations which are highly accessible and provided with public transport options, and close to employment, shops and services, are being investigated as part of this process. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure. 24. b) A new distinctive character has been created, based on positive features found in the wider area, including any heritage assets or landscape features, where high quality distinctive features do not exist either within or around the site. Some areas have relatively poor access to higher level job opportunities, and low-level attainment and skills. Where appropriate serviced land is left in a condition suitable for a future agreed use; oriii. 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. 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. We have also suggested nine priorities to address these issues. This policy addresses the emissions from the operational phase of a building/development, in terms of heat and power. 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. Council offices. 3) MovementDevelopment proposals must create or enable sustainable connections to destinations, places and communities, both within the site and beyond its boundaries. Priority 3 Promoting sustainable inclusive communities, infrastructure and growth. 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.
Live: M5 southbound near Bristol remains closed after tipper truck hits Flood risk, drainage, water quality and water management, 24. 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. Decommissioning involves activities such as the removal and temporary storage and/or disposal of hazardous waste such as asbestos and radioactive waste, the rationalisation of buildings and reuse of land for activities relating to of decommissioning, and the demolition of those that are no longer needed. This policy must work in combination with other aspects of the plan and also changes likely to happen outside of planning. 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). Parking to fronts should be enhanced by the use of finer paving materials and attention to landscaping between spaces essentially creating good driveways. At this stage the map below is intended to give an indication of where the zones could be and allow discussion about the pros and cons of the zones proposed. Our approaches to strategic growth policies will be informed by the emerging sub-regional Spatial Development Strategy and supporting evidence base. They should make sufficient provision for: They also provide a clear starting point for more detailed non-strategic policies that are needed to address a wide range of issues. 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.
About neighbourhood planning | South Gloucestershire Council This includes the integration where feasible of NNB with the decommissioning of the existing station, including the reuse of previously developed land, facilities and materials thereby reducing the extent of greenfield land needed for NNB and minimising the scale and extent of built form in the rural Levels and estuary landscape and seascape. In 2004, 21 South Gloucestershire areas rated in the most deprived 20% nationally against at least one domain of the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. The Councils will continue their longstanding history of joint working and cooperate with each other and with other key bodies on strategic, cross boundary matters as they prepare their Local Plans.The evidence base prepared so far to inform the Spatial Development Strategy will be published on the WECA website and will be reviewed and used as appropriate to inform the Councils Local Plans. Minimise cooling demand by reducing internal heat gains e.g. They can provide a more economical alternative to private car use and enable access to opportunities and flexibility that cannot otherwise be gained. The outcome of this work will be presented at future stages or preparing the Local Plan 2020. New development proposal(s) will be acceptable where an appropriate level of cycle parking is provided. Additionally, we have sought to demonstrate the scale of the new approach we are taking to addressing issues affecting the most vulnerable. Due to the evolving and emerging position in relation to decommissioning and radioactive waste management and disposal, and the likely duration of the decommissioning process, it is envisaged that a strategic masterplan for the site would need to be an iterative document that is reviewed and revised in response to changes in the national policy, context, practice and permissions. South Gloucestershire Council has decided to join Bath & North East Somerset and Bristol city councils in pressing on with their Local Plans after metro mayor Dan Norris told the Government in May . The development plan sets out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land in South Gloucestershire. A3** Restaurants and Cafes and A4**public houses, 1 space per 5sqm dining area or public drinking area, Shopping, leisure, recreation and other uses requiring public access and employment, In addition to and equal to 5% of the level of parking derived from Schedule B, 1) Car parking spaces should be clearly identified for blue badge holders only and should be located so as to allow easy access to the building they serve, Shops, services less than 3,000m2 gross floor area (GFA) (A1, A2), Garden centres, including those attached to other retail premises, Motor vehicle services (garage, workshops, car sales, car hire), Student accommodation (Sui Generis/C3/C1), 1 (provided garage design accommodation both car and cycle storage). In addition, in order for relevant stakeholders, including local communities, to be able to understand how a NSIP is performing over time against all KPIs and relevant measures secured in the DCO and accompanying documents, monitoring against KPIs should be published annually on a project monitoring web site and a paper copy deposited in a suitable local publicly accessible venue. The strategies for dealing with the different levels of waste vary according to their radioactivity characteristics, with higher activity wastes such as nuclear fuel having already been removed off site, intermediate level wastes being treated and packaged at Oldbury prior to being moved to Berkeley for long term storage until such time as a national geological disposal facility is available. The NDA expectation is that land will be remediated and de-designated by 2103. Different standards for different parts of the district? Core Strategy policy CS37 Nuclear related Development (covers the overall approach to nuclear related development, including paragraph 12 on radioactive waste). In order to deliver on these objectives, to inform consultation responses and seek efficiency of working and common ground, the Council will: Take a collaborative partnership approach on NSIPs, working with scheme promoters local communities and relevant Government agencies, statutory undertakers, public bodies non statutory organisations and other neighbouring local authorities in seeking to ensure that the socio economic, environmental and transport benefits and legacy of the project are maximised and negative impacts minimised and/or compensated for.
