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. These should include plans for phasing, and triggers for the delivery of key supporting infrastructure in order to secure the timely implementation of mitigation. The council plays a pivotal role in supporting the lives of those in the care system, acting as corporate parent for young people who have had an extremely difficult start in life. 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. 26. These are the minimum requirements for energy efficiency and on-site renewable energy generation that must be met. We've been working in the local community to help older people for over 25 years. Schedule A Car Parking Provision Standards Residential, Schedule B Car Parking Provision Standards Non Residential, Schedule C Disabled User Parking Provision, Schedule D Cycle Parking Provision Standards, Motorcycle and Other Powered Two Wheelers. In terraced houses, space for the storage of a range of waste and recycling bins or containers, can be successfully integrated into the fronts of properties, in screened storage structures, which can also be integrated within porch canopies, also providing bike storage and electrical car-charging cables. Mitigation primarily means minimising greenhouse gas emissions from the development. THE SOUTH GLOS COUNCIL LOCAL PLAN See http://www.westerleighparishcouncil.org.uk/planning-and-the-parish-council/ RESPONSES TO PLANNING APPLICATIONS Jan 2022 - All Planning Applications will continue to be listed here. The tables separates policies into strategic policies and non-strategic policies. Following the decision of the WECA Mayor to stop all work on the West of England Combined Authority Spatial Development Strategy, the Local Plans for Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire will now provide the strategic planning framework for the West of England Combined Authority area.The issue of housing need will now be addressed through individual Local Plans for each of the Local Councils. Council Plan 2020 - 2024 | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council Council Plan 2020 - 2024 This document sets out our plans for achieving the best for our residents and their communities.. We want to make sure that where our new Local Plan can tackle the issues and address priorities for the area, we have effective policies in order to do so. Proposals that include an element of community ownership, or are from the community energy sector, are encouraged. 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. Clean Version for Interimpublication - South Gloucestershire Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? 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 . Given the importance of decommissioning the existing station, and the potential benefits of reusing the brownfield land to reduce the overall impact of NNB, when considering land use proposals at the existing Oldbury power station site, priority will sequentially be given to meeting the needs of: Decommissioning; Nuclear new build proposals; Other employment and/or green energy related uses. We are required by the National Planning Policy Framework to split our policies into two types; strategic or non-strategic. 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. It is also accepted that due to the long timeframes, changing contexts and complexities of some NSIPs, aspects of impact prediction may be uncertain. 3) MovementDevelopment proposals must create or enable sustainable connections to destinations, places and communities, both within the site and beyond its boundaries. We also want to be clear which of our existing policies may need to evolve and eventually be replaced. 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. The Local Plan will guide how and where this will happen. 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. 32. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure. 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. By focusing our efforts on education and skills for both children and adults we can have greatest impact in tackling inequality. Other policies which may also be relevant, including proposed policies on radioactive waste, Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) and associated or related development and proposed policy on Oldbury Nuclear New Build. 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. Pollution We are committed to reducing. We have a strong track record of managing our finances and achieving savings, whilst continuing to deliver high quality, value for money services. You can read more in the Action Plans 1 6 document. These provide a framework to inform early engagement between the Council and a promoter of NNB at Oldbury. All individual dwellings with one or more dedicated parking spaces or garage must include provision for 7Kw (32 amp) charging infrastructure suitable for charging an electric or other ultra-low emission vehicle. This is necessary to ensure that heating systems are decarbonised and move away from fossil fuel systems (i.e. This policy must work in combination with other aspects of the plan and also changes likely to happen outside of planning. Joint Local Transport Plan | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council Joint Local Transport Plan Transport planning is led by the West of England Combined Authority working with the four. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? 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. 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 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. The visual implications of any proposals for change would need to be carefully considered. For residential development, two policy options are presented to achieve net zero carbon. We have delivered thousands of new homes to help meet current requirements, but demand is set to intensify further over the coming years. 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. 4. As part of this Phase 1 Issues and Approaches consultation document, we want to set out the range of policies we think will be required and which local plan priority they would assist in achieving. The 10 characteristics (except built form and movement) have been grouped into related pairs: 1) Context local and wider context, heritage, local history and culture, 2) Identity creating and responding to local character and identity, 3) Built form compact development, appropriate building types and forms, destinations, 4) Movement integrated networks for all travel modes, hierarchy of streets, parking and utilities, 5) Nature green open spaces, landscape variety, play, water management, biodiversity, 6) Public spaces well-located and attractive spaces, safety, social interaction, 7) Uses uses mix, range of home tenures, types and sizes, socially inclusive, 8) Homes & buildings healthy, comfortable and safe, external amenity, detailing, waste provision, 9) Resources energy hierarchy, materials and techniques, maximise resilience, 10) Lifespan management and maintenance, adaptability, evolving technologies, sense of ownership. This will give a figure for the suitable reduction in car parking provision as a percentage reduction against the standard guidance in the Schedules below. 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. Almost 2,000 households are registered as being in housing need. The NDA expectation is that land will be remediated and de-designated by 2103. Note: Regulations are continuously reviewed and the status of the site may change in future. 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. Achieving these and other priorities will require new policies which update and eventually replace our adopted policies. The Policy seeks to ensure that new development (residential and non-residential) is built to high energy efficiency standards, uses renewable heating and cooling systems, and incorporates renewable energy generation. With advances in technology, this is becoming more achievable for most people. At this stage the map is high level and a further more detailed map will be required to support the policy as it is refined. Therefore Clause 1c requires that after design measures to minimise the demand for cooling have been incorporated into the development then any residual cooling demand must be met sustainably through passive cooling measures, and then if necessary, through renewable mechanical ventilation measures and finally, renewable active cooling measures. 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. Priority 2 Identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselves. They also indicate how we are looking to review, and eventually replace our existing range of planning policies. Clauses 2 and 3 of the policy set out specific on-site requirements. 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. Below are some of the key changes that will influence a new approach. Beta This is our beta website, your feedback can help us improve it. There has historically been an emphasis on assessing the impacts of major projects at peak, i.e. Equally, many of our priorities and commitments dont stop at our boundaries. 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. Providing land for Economic Development, 9. 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. These policies will be informed and refined from the feedback obtained from this Phase 1 consultation; particularly if we have the issues and priorities for the plan correctly identified. Do you have any comments on the range and scope of policies we are proposing? This is because in non-residential development proposals it is difficult to assess the unregulated energy use as the end-user can vary widely and is not necessarily known. 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. In 2019 the average earnings for a full-time worker living in South Gloucestershire was 31,609, higher than the national average (30,661). The Local Plan 2020 will shape our district for the next 15 years. 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. 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.
