Given the proximity to the estuary, due consideration must also be given to impacts on designations and protected species, including in relation to the timing of works and any potential for disturbance. 22. ecological crisis and inequalities within South Gloucestershire. As a council We Care. Locational Constraints: Residential Development in the Countryside, 46. 19. To give an idea of the type of detail which might come forward, we have set out the existing planning policies that currently address the headline topic and priority issue. Go back to the Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches document landing page. We also understand that above all, people want to see everyday services like waste collection and library services delivered efficiently. For all developments, (except residential developments and those where there is no on-site car parking provision proposed) provision should be made for motorcycles and powered two wheelers equal to 3% of the number of car parking spaces required. 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. Active Provision:An active OLEV compliant chargepoint, such that each dwelling has the opportunity to charge their vehicle at the same time with a total charging time not exceeding 8 hours. 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. In South Gloucestershire the average house price is 8.7 times the average pay (31,609). 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. 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. Associated development is likely to include a range of both permanent and temporary works and facilities such as: Flood defences for the site and the surrounding area; Transport infrastructure including road, sea, and potentially rail; Construction worker accommodation / facilities; Modifications to the electricity transmission infrastructure; Training facilities, a visitor/ reception centre and off-site emergency facilities; Extensive landscape, visual and biodiversity mitigation areas. Small modular reactors are understood to occupy approximately 10% of the footprint of a large scale NNB. Given the designations on the estuary the Habitats Regulations will also be relevant. The South Gloucestershire policies map is an interactive map that displays the policies of the development plan. We will inspire residents, communities, and businesses as well as national Government and agencies to take fast climate and ecological action themselves. But please see the Building a Strategy, Creating Sustainable Villages sections for potential approaches which may involve rural communities, Draft policy not yet available. These contributions will be negotiated as part of the planning process,including through section 106 agreements and the Community Infrastructure Levy where appropriate. 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. We will need to plan from what we currently know, but also build in sufficient flexibility to enable our approach to adjust as new arrangements start to replace the current approach. Specific on-site requirements for Residential Development. This policy will be applied in conjunction with other relevant policies in this plan, in particular policies on NSIPs, new nuclear development and decommissioning. 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 plans will continue to evolve to ensure they remain relevant in a time when change and uncertainty has become a constant. In establishing a character or identity of a development, the surrounding context is important to consider and reference. 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. Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP16: Parking Standards, Use Classes Order (September 2020) update. The public consultation on our plan to introduce restrictions on the rights of homeowners to convert existing housing into houses in multiple occupation in the Stoke Park and Cheswick ward, and parts of the Filton ward closed on 31 January 2023. The visual implications of any proposals for change would need to be carefully considered. The South Gloucestershire planners have been clear that government-set targets for housebuilding in the area CANNOT be met by development in urban areas and . Clauses 2 and 3 of the policy set out specific on-site requirements. 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. 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. The East Fringe spans from the M32 eastwards, towards Downend, along the A4174 corridor to Hanham and Willsbridge. On-site measures should be prioritised over carbon offsetting payments. 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. 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 . As a comparator that indicates the likely scale and complexity of large scale NNB, recent proposals for Wylfa Newydd on the Isle of Anglesey indicate: A nominated 236ha site, and a total site development/ construction area of 409ha Estimated 9 year construction period, and 60 years operation, 20 years decommissioning Design parameters for aspects of the development, with later details to be approved by the local authority A theoretical maximum of 9000 construction workers at peak 850 permanent jobs plus 1000 for periodic reactor maintenance On site accommodation for up to 4000 construction workers, Park and Ride for 1900 cars, and a logistics centre with capacity for up to 100 HGV Diversion of the coastal path inland around the NNB site Extensive on site landscaped areas plus off site ecological compensation areas Long term radioactive waste and spent fuel stores Site preparation and online highway improvement applications to the local authority. Completion of the current fibre broadband deployment across South Gloucestershire will achieve 99% superfast fibre broadband coverage by 31 March 2021. We will build on this strength, forging new partnerships and enhancing established relationships. It also requires, where any residual carbon emissions remain, contributions towards carbon offsetting projects in the local area. 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.
