What evidence base will support the policy? We are developing a new Local Plan for South Gloucestershire, called the Local Plan 2020. With regard to Clause 2, a map of existing renewable energy installations will be produced (and updated as appropriate) and published on our Local Plan webpages (under the Evidence base section) This clause allows for older, existing infrastructure to be upgraded with modern/ more efficient technology. priorities set out in the Council Plan (adopted 2020); declaration of a Climate Emergency on 17 July 2019; the Covid-19 pandemic and the impacts this has had on communities, the health services and the economy; updates to the National Planning Policy Framework in 2019 with more expected to come forward in the next few years; there have been, and will continue to be, updates to National Planning Policy Guidance which supports the NPPF; and. Motorcycle and other powered two wheelers can offer an affordable means of movement for trips where public transport is limited and walking and cycling unrealistic. However, the local planning authority may also highlight local issues and local planning policy that are considered to be important and relevant that the examining body can take into account when assessing and making recommendations on a DCO application. 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. The credibility of monitoring information should be ensured through provision for independent analysis and verification, as well as the establishment of theme specific monitoring and advisory groups involving relevant stakeholders. The new Local Plan for Milton Keynes, Plan:MK was adopted by Milton Keynes Council at its meeting on the 20 March 2019, details of which can be found at Council 20 March 2019. Heat pumps can also be used to provide cooling from the ground and water. Developers are encouraged to review South Gloucestershire Councils Planning Performance Agreement Charter (pdf) for further information. Recent updates to national legislation has resulted in changes to the Use Classes Order. Updated technical guidance will be prepared by the Council to accompany the policy and explain how we expect applicants to demonstrate that their development proposals comply with the policy requirements. Go to South Gloucestershire Council. Consequently, Option 2, policy which requires residential development to reduce carbon emissions from regulated and unregulated energy use by 100%, is also presented. Doing so would help meet the Councils carbon reduction and renewable energy generation targets set out in emerging Local Plan 2020 policy Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. We hope to consult you on a fuller range of policies in 2021. Our priority is excellence in education and skills, ensuring equal opportunities for all. In recognition of the burden and disturbance borne by the community in hosting some Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects, the Council will where appropriate require packages of community benefits to be provided by the developer to offset and compensate the community for the burden imposed by hosting the project. The relationships we have built through the Covid-19 pandemic are central to this and that new community conversation will grow further through the development of these very local-level relationships. Population 63% of the population live in the urban area, 17% in market towns and 20% in villages and rural areas. It is important that as much is done on-site as possible to minimise energy demand, and maximise renewable energy use and generation. This policy will support decommissioning of the existing station in a way that considers both interim and end states, including: Recognising the:o Potential for beneficial temporary / interim and or long term uses including integration with NNB, green energy useso Benefits of significant quality employment opportunities provided by the site over many years and promotion of this into the futureo Existence of Grid connection infrastructureo Environmental sensitivity of the localityo The presence of priority habitat and the declining biodiversity value of lagoon 3 on site, ando Constraints of road access and flood risk, delivering sustainable outcomes in environmental, socio economic and transport terms, and net gain for biodiversity, as well as. Core Strategy Policy CS1 (High Quality Design) &Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP1 (Local Distinctiveness). There are approximately 6,000 children living in poverty in South Gloucestershire, a statistic which goes to the heart of our priority to invest in education and skills, tackle inequality and create the best start in life for our children and young people. Is the current approach still the right approach? Development proposals are required to demonstrate how they will mitigate and adapt to climate change and help deliver radical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and generate renewable and/or low carbon energy proportionate to their scale and type. The local authority is also the enforcement authority post consent. It will open in a separate window. 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. Clause 1b requires the residual heat demand of a development to be met through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat source. 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. Locational Constraints: Residential Development in the Countryside, 46. The Joint Waste Core Strategy guides decisions about where waste management facilities should be located within the West of England. It does not address the emissions that come from the construction phase of the development or the transport movements generated by a development. Please refer to the map under Schedule A which outlines indicatively where these zones could be. Do you think there are any other issues? 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. Where possible, our priority is to prioritise development where it supports regeneration of existing town centres, high streets and communities and promotes the sustainability of existing services. This is currently scheduled to take place in late 2023. A total population of 285,100 in 2019 which is projected to rise to 354,300 in 2043. Conservation Area Appraisals, Village Design Statements and The South Gloucestershire Landscape Character Assessment may, where available, in the vicinity of a development, also provide good sources of information that assist in discerning such distinctive local character. The key risks of climate change have been identified as coming from flooding, coastal change, high temperatures and new pests and diseases. 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. What are strategic and non-strategic policies? Satisfaction in the area79% of local people are satisfied with their area. You can access the document and information produced to support the Phase 1 document below. A NNB new facility would be expected to comprise very substantial development including nuclear reactors, cooling infrastructure, interim spent fuel, radioactive waste stores, other associated buildings plus grid connections, and additional construction land. Town and parish councils. Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) are large-scale projects of national importance (defined in the Planning Act 2008) such as new trunk roads, airports, ports, power stations (including nuclear), electricity transmission lines, waste water treatment works and chemical works. These targets will most likely be exceeded in practice, and the Council expects on-site measures to be maximised as far as possible. 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. The Local Plan 2020 will shape our district for the next 15 years. HeritageDistinctive place-based heritage stories and assets (market towns, aviation, non-conformist religion, Second World War, listed buildings and conservation areas). Go back to the Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches document landing page. Any advance or preparatory works are demonstrably necessary for the timely delivery of NNB at Oldbury, incorporate adequate and timely mitigation, and are accompanied by a strategy and mechanisms to secure appropriate restoration of the landscape should NNB at Oldbury not proceed. It should achieve this by being Certified Passivhaus (or equivalent), which includes a renewable source of energy for heating and hot water and incorporates renewable energy generation technology, or through meeting the following criteria sequentially: a) Minimising demand for heating, cooling, hot water, lighting and power through building and site level measures; thenb) Meeting the residual heat demand through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat sources; thenc) Meeting residual cooling demand sustainably sequentially through:i) passive cooling measures;ii) mechanical ventilation; and finallyiii) active renewable measures; thend) Maximising on-site renewable energy generation; and then, if necessary,e) Offsetting any remaining residual carbon emissions via a contribution to a carbon offsetting project or fund within South Gloucestershire. 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. It will be important therefore to assess the predicted impacts of the project over time, in order to determine either their acceptability or whether additional control measures and/or mitigation are required. We recognise that future development must support our climate change commitments and our Climate Emergency Action Plans set out how we will work with our partners and residents to ensure growth is achieved whilst achieving these ambitions: In this way, we will ensure South Gloucestershire is a place where people respect the natural world, historic and cultural environment and live low carbon, sustainable and healthy lifestyles.
