The majority of policies cannot be effectively drafted until further consultation, evidence and studies have been carried out. It is expected that decommissioning plans and interim and final end state proposals will evolve over time, and will continue through and beyond the Local Plan period. Both positive and negative effects are therefore addressed in the table of themes and issues, set out in the supporting text. The Magnox site is located in a rural, sensitive and visually prominent location on the banks of the internationally designated Severn Estuary, in an area of high archaeological potential and immediately adjacent to the nominated nuclear new build (NNB). A Technical Guidance document will be prepared to accompany the local plan to set out how the policy requirements of the Climate Change Policy can be achieved. It also identifies land and allocates sites for. In the longer term land that will be needed for long term site clearance related activity, but in the interim may potentially become available for beneficial temporary uses. An example of this is our current work with the South Gloucestershire Tec Arc, a cluster of world-leading business and research institutions from the Bristol and Bath Science Park and National Composites Centre at Emersons Green, through the University of the West of England and Bristol Robotics Laboratory at Frenchay to the aerospace and engineering businesses of the Filton Enterprise Area. 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. This will help applicants understand how the policy requirements fit together and what information is necessary to demonstrate how the policies will be satisfied. When applied this will indicate whether a reduction in car parking provision is appropriate. Development delivers design quality, including making a positive contribution to sustainability objectives, climate change resilience, and delivers biodiversity net gain.

Proposals will be considered more favourably where they achieve 2 or more of the following criteria: a. 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). The Policies, Sites and Places (PSP) plan forms part of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan, together with the Core Strategy and Joint Waste Core Strategy. Set out whether a carbon offsetting contribution is required to mitigate any remaining carbon emissions. 31. The Councils evidence shows that on certain sites and types of development much higher standards can be achieved on-site, and this will be encouraged. 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. The plan comprises a number of separate documents: Core Strategy. 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. Steps should be taken to mitigate the visual impact of any such installations. It can also be topic-based policies such as open space standards, parking standards, community facilities or the allocation of local sites. Priority 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. Contributions to the Local Authority and/or other appropriate and agreed organisations to mitigate or where appropriate offset any adverse impacts, additional demands and/or harm caused by the project. Mechanisms would also need to be put in place to allow the introduction of additional mitigation or the adjustment of approved measures, so that unanticipated consequences can be addressed. 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. Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy? HeritageDistinctive place-based heritage stories and assets (market towns, aviation, non-conformist religion, Second World War, listed buildings and conservation areas). 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. The Office of Nuclear Regulation land use planning advice in respect of emergency planning around nuclear sites including Oldbury may be found at: http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm, ONR regulations covering arrangements for the surrounding area Potential public perceptions regarding safetyRelationship to Emergency Planning arrangements for the existing Magnox station. South Gloucestershire has long been recognised as a great place to live and work, but with new attractions complementing our rich heritage and beautiful natural environment, growing numbers of people are discovering how great a place it is to visit too. Further updates and evidence will be added to this page to support production of the new Local Plan. To do this, we have set out an overarching policy on climate change, which aims to ensure that climate change is considered at the beginning of the decision making process when the concept of a new development, including its location and design, is considered. gas boilers). Earlier PSP plan documents and representations can be downloaded from our website. All of these documents are used by. 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. By incorporating comprehensive mitigation and adaptation measures, it is possible for new development to contribute to meeting the targets referred to in the policy on climate change. Parking Requirements, including Electric Vehicles, 62. It is important to engage with local communities at an early stage in the development process. Beyond secondary education we will work closely with local colleges and universities to ensure further and higher education offers are accessible to young people and that local provision is sufficient to meet the needs of all new entrants and those seeking places to re-train and re-skill. For more information see our local plan review. These provide a framework to inform early engagement between the Council and a promoter of NNB at Oldbury. 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. What is the current approach to Parking Standards? We want all children to be able to access high quality education wherever they live, whatever their economic circumstances and their ethnic origin, so that all have opportunity to achieve their full potential. http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. 2) Built formThe layout and form of the development must combine to form a well-designed and legible environment, which is attractive and functions well for all users. The pace and scale of growth in recent years has presented new opportunities for our area, but also challenges. This Council Plan maintains our focus on being an efficient and innovative organisation, working closely with our communities and partners to shape and improve the outcomes and prospects for South Gloucestershire, our residents and businesses. Development within Existing Residential Curtilages, including Extensions and New Dwellings, 36. The Policies, Sites and Places (PSP) plan forms part of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan, together with the Core Strategy and Joint Waste Core Strategy. All of these documents are used by the council when assessing planning applications. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? You can read more in the Action Plans 7 11 document. Site Allocations Sites & Criteria, CS4a Presumption in favour of sustainable development. Education and qualificationsIn 2019, 38.8% of people aged 16-64 living in South Gloucestershire were educated to NVQ level 4 or above (HND, degree, higher degree level qualifications or equivalent), this remains lower than both the sub-regional (West of England) and national (England) averages (45.4% and 40%). The principles of radioactive waste management should also form an integral part of NNB DCO proposals. South Gloucestershire is an area with extensive Green Belt, Cotswold National Landscape designation, bustling urban areas and three unique market towns. 5) Use, homes and buildingsDevelopments should be adaptable over time, in order to be able to accommodate changing work/home, employment and shopping patterns, and people potentially choosing to stay in their homes for longer into older age. Do you have any comments on the range and scope of policies we are proposing? Policy Option 1: Net zero carbon (100% reduction in carbon emissions) from regulated energy use;or Policy Option 2: Net zero carbon (100% reduction in carbon emissions) from regulated and unregulated energy use. B8 Uses and Distribution: Locational Criteria, 49. Where we hope to develop policies covering new topics, this is also indicated. 47.1% of schools rated Outstanding or Good in March 2020 compared with 35.3% in the previous year. Local economic and community benefits should be maximised through agreement and early implementation of social, education, training, economic, environmental and transport strategies. We must re-double our efforts to promote equality of opportunity and build cohesive communities. For residential development, two policy options are presented to achieve net zero carbon. One of the proposals includes reducing the number of policies at the Local Plan level and creating new national planning policies to cover key topics. 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. The neighbourhoods that are within walkable distance of key facilities and services; are adjacent to key public transport hubs including UWE, Cribbs Causeway, Yate shopping centre or within ideal walking distance of rail stations with good services to key destinations, will be considered for reduced minimum car parking provision as the choice of travel options favours non-car travel. We have a valued heritage and green spaces and businesses that command high ambition and a presence on the global stage. These documents contain a. This will need to include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in. The council is currently working on a new Local Plan. Many of our school-leavers and graduates choose to stay here and the area is also convenient for commuting to surrounding cities and further afield. However there are also other NNB technologies being developed including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and nuclear fusion through the Governments Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP). We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire. 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. Through our Community Engagement Forums and our Local Strategic Partnership, we work closely with the Police to identify the local priorities and actions for maintaining community safety. 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. traffic or workers for a relatively short period of time. Saved Policy CS4 Renewable or Low Carbon District Heat Networks will be addressed too. 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 then engaged further on these through wider public consultation between May and July 2020.Through the consultation we received support for those initial priorities that had been informed and guided by engagement with local people and other stakeholders. Select the one which you are looking for and the map will automatically zoom and centre on this location. Creating sustainable rural villages and settlements, Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. How will we know what level of parking provision is suitable on a site within the zone? High streets, town and district centres, and local parades Uses and criteria, 53. Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO), Residential Conversions and Sub-Divisions, 48. Have your say on proposals to improve sustainable travel between Thornbury and Bradley Stoke. 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. 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. The outcome of this work will be presented at future stages or preparing the Local Plan 2020. Mitigation primarily means minimising greenhouse gas emissions from the development. It is proposed that the policy looks at a zoning approach to allow for reduced car parking provision in areas which are demonstrably well connected with ample opportunities for walking and cycling access to key services and facilities as well as good public transport provision. Meeting the needs of our Gypsy/ Traveller & TravellingShowpeoplecommunities, 8. The local authority is also responsible for discharging Requirements (akin to planning conditions) following the grant of a Development Consent Order. Consequently, Option 2, policy which requires residential development to reduce carbon emissions from regulated and unregulated energy use by 100%, is also presented. We need new development to achieve net zero carbon from the outset, to help mitigate climate change. The Climate Emergency declaration has given fresh impetus to tackling climate change in South Gloucestershire, and the local plan provides a crucial opportunity to make significant progress. Key drivers informing consideration of new planning policies and approaches include: As we begin considering what policies might need to eventually replace the Core Strategy and PSP, we start by discussing the range of issues facing South Gloucestershire. This will allow the council time to understand the potential impacts these changes may have. 6. The Local Plan 2020 will shape our district for the next 15 years. This Council Plan is ambitious, particularly given the pressure that has been placed on budgets, the uncertainty in the economy, and the very real impacts for those who have found themselves unemployed or facing six months away from education. 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. 28. The objective will be to identify measures, projects and services to mitigate impact while enhancing the long-term well-being and sustainability of the communities and environments affected. 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 . In terms informing of the LPAs role, other emerging Local Plan 2020 policies sets out an overarching framework for the decommissioning and restoration of the Oldbury site against which pre-application advice and planning consents will be considered, and will also help inform the Councils response to any consultations on consents, licenses or permits from other organisations. Do you think there are any other issues? 4) Nature and public spacesBelow ground provision for trees within public realm, such as root protection and growth systems, is often needed to ensure the proper growth and longevity of the tree. Locals have their say on where Bristol's boundaries end Bradley Stoke Bookmark New train station. 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. An integrated suite of management, mitigation, restoration and delivery plans covering all areas of potential economic, social, community, transport and environmental impacts during construction and operation. This stage of the plan does not contain individual sites. Along with other relevant policies in the plan, this policy will be a material consideration in assessing individual planning and waste applications, notifications and any consultations related to the decommissioning of Oldbury power station. 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. 3. Heat pumps can also be used to provide cooling from the ground and water. 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. Age UK South Gloucestershire is an independent local charity with its own locally elected board of trustees and is part of the Age UK network. Key Services and Facilities and appropriate walking & cycling distances to them will be defined in a proposed new policy Sustainable Travel & Access, which will be brought forward in future stages of the Local Plan. The South Gloucestershire Local Plan will help identify the sustainable growth we need over the next 20 years. There should be transparency of monitoring of progress against the DCO, its Requirements and the KPIs through the publication of a publicly accessible Annual Monitoring Report. 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. Given the length of time before decommissioning takes place, and the potential for changes in circumstance and socio economic and environmental circumstance, the Council will expect to see the preferred principles for decommissioning set out along with the firm plans for the construction and operational phases. Therefore, specific minimum targets for energy efficiency and on-site measures are set out in Clauses 2 and 3. The policies within the Core Strategy were prepared to support the growth strategy at that time, with updates and more detailed policies set out in the PSP Plan (adopted in 2017). To comply with this, the South Gloucestershire Local Plan 2020 will Further information on the NSIP process, including relevant legislation, guidance advice and roles of the various parties may be found on the Planning Inspectorates website. Creating well-designed places requires an understanding of a wide range of principles, across numerous disciplines. Electric and Ultra Low Vehicle charging provision.

Core Strategy Policy CS1 (High Quality Design) &Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP1 (Local Distinctiveness). 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. Developments should be adaptable over time to reduce the need for redevelopment processes; b) Locally-sourced and sustainable materials will be used where appropriate to minimise energy use and embodied carbon emissions; c) Climate adaptation has been maximised, with resilience to projected climate change, through the orientation, aspect, and siting of development to optimise solar gain, while avoiding creating potential for over-heating over the lifetime of the development; and. They said: "The M5 in South Gloucestershire is closed northbound between J18A (M49) & J17 (Cribbs Causeway) and southbound between J17 & J18 due to a collision whereby a tipper truck has collided . Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? Nuclear power stations are national infrastructure sites, hosted by local communities on behalf of the nation. We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire, called the Local Plan 2020. 29. It must meet the needs of all users, including visitors and people with disabilities. For non-residential development, regulated energy use only is required to be reduced by 100%. Firstly, the need to ensure that energy consumption is minimised through building and site level design measures must be addressed. The Council would expect NNB related applications to comprise an integrated, navigable suite of documentation including well defined proposals and parameters defining the proposed development, and including clearly identified mitigation, monitoring and management plans demonstrating how all relevant matters identified in the table of Themes, Issues and Constraints have been taken into account and addressed. developing a low carbon economy, encouraging people to live low carbon, sustainable and healthy lifestyles. Good quality and positive existing trees and vegetation should be retained and protected; c) Where appropriate, well-located, attractive, and safe open spaces and play areas, which enhance social interaction and which offer opportunities for formal and informal play and rest, should be provided; d) Where appropriate, site-specific public art features are provided, in order to add visual and cultural interest, and to create a connection to the sites history, existing landscape or built qualities; e) Boundary treatments and any interfaces between public and private areas are robust and built to be long-lasting, define the public realm, clearly establish the difference between public and private spaces, and avoids small areas of incidental open spaces; and.
