Through our active role in the West of England Combined Authority and the Western Gateway powerhouse, we have demonstrated how we can work effectively with neighbouring authorities and others to deliver improved outcomes for the wider region. You can read more in the Action Plans 17 20 document. 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. Once a DCO and its constituent development strategy, phasing and supporting infrastructure proposals have been consented, any NSIP related development proposals/ amendments or related applications will be assessed against the DCO and in combination with the overall development proposals. In order to address this, South Gloucestershire Council will encourage developers to enter into Planning Performance Agreements (PPA) and/or Service Level Agreements (SLA), appropriate to each project. Climate change is happening now and is the biggest challenge facing our society. For some topic-based policies we already have prepared early drafts of policies to share, covering the following topics: Working Policy Draft Available (Strategic), Working Policy Draft Available (Non-Strategic). 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. Income generation for community infrastructure purposes does not form a material consideration in planning decisions. We welcome and value the role that our residents and our partners in health and care, in housing, in education, in the police and emergency services, the private, public and voluntary and community sectors have already played in developing the vision behind this Council Plan and we look forward to working with you over the coming years to deliver our ambitious vision for you and your community.

Such assessments should be comprehensive and address the evolution of the projects impact over key phases of construction, operation, decommissioning and restoration. 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. Policies in our Local Plan are the starting point for making decisions on all planning applications and will be the foundation for guiding development across all of South Gloucestershire. Early discussions have also contributed to the development of a new planning policy relating to decommissioning. A set of short videos explaining the preparation of, and how you can get involved in shaping our new Local Plan 2020 for South Gloucestershire. The design of new development will need to consider ducting and provision for digital infrastructure to ensure it is well integrated into site design and development to allow maintenance and servicing and avoid negative impacts on the quality of places and spaces.
South Gloucestershire Council voter ID row over 'rushed and ill The policy must also acknowledge and reflect that we are in a period of transition, and help support the process of moving from established practices to the new approaches which will better support our sustainability objectives in the medium and longer term. Car ownershipLevels of car ownership and commuting are high. 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. minimising impact and maximising benefits and legacy throughout the life of this intergenerational project. The key risks of climate change have been identified as coming from flooding, coastal change, high temperatures and new pests and diseases. 14:27, 28 FEB 2023. The Guidance will also provide detail on the information required for compliance with the Energy Management in New Development policy and the related clauses of the Creating well-designed places policy. Strategic policies should set out an overall strategy for the pattern, scale and quality of development. Bysigning up to our consultations, you can keep up with progress on the Local Plan, consultations and key updates from us. Legibility, or the understanding of a place, can be created by sequences of natural or built landmark features, and by ensuring that views through a site terminate at landmarks, such as a mature tree or interesting new faade. Have your say on proposals to improve sustainable travel between Thornbury and Bradley Stoke. Site Allocations Sites & Criteria, CS4a Presumption in favour of sustainable development. Nuclear power stations are national infrastructure sites, hosted by local communities on behalf of the nation. New technology, different attitudes and direction from national policy means a new approach can be explored to help meet the numerous challenges that continue to face South Gloucestershire. The expectation, based on evidence, is that this policy option will be viable and achievable in the near future for similar costs to those tested for Option 1. We are enhancing our Keep it Local approach and the way we work with communities so you have a greater say in the issues which are important to you and take more responsibility for what goes on in your area.

A detailed timeline for preparing our new Local Plan is set out in the Local Plan Delivery Programme (LPDP). 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. Clean Version for Interimpublication - South Gloucestershire Policy support is therefore provided to development proposals which generate energy from renewable or low carbon sources and infrastructure that helps with the transition towards a smart energy system. Further, for some specific groups within the local community inequality gaps are evident from early years, which continue throughout their education. For the latest updates check our consultation page. Earlier PSP plan documents and representations can be downloaded from our website. Proposals for waste management or disposal should form an integral part of the strategic decommissioning masterplan for the Oldbury site, in accordance with emerging Local Plan 2020 policy. In planning this new housing, we must recognise the need to protect our natural habitats and biodiversity. 66. However, at this early stage of building our new Local Plan we do not have drafts of most of the policies that will be needed. 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 masterplan will provide a clear and consistent framework, to ensure that each application can be considered in the context of delivering on the overarching proposals for the Oldbury site. 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. Local Plan 2018 - 2036. Where it is proposed that capacity is provided for the management of waste from other sites, it can be demonstrated it is strongly justified that the facility will meet a need that is not met elsewhere that better accords with the proximity principle, and accords with the above criteria. Monitoring and review arrangements for both the construction and operational phases of the NNB. The Joint Waste Core Strategy guides decisions about where waste management facilities should be located within the West of England. Proposals will be considered more favourably where they achieve 2 or more of the following criteria: a. Such projects are often of a scale and complexity that may have wide ranging effects, both positive and negative, on local communities, the economy and the local area. 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. 29. In August 2020, the Government released a Planning White Paper for consultation which proposes significant changes to the Planning system. Town Centres, High Streets, Shopping and Leisure., 10. The Local Plan is made up of a number of documents which you can view in ouradopted planssection. The masterplan proposals will also need to address the sensitivity of the site and its surrounding environment, including but not limited to, consideration of the effects on: The international and national designations on the estuary, including avoiding disturbance to protected wildlife both on the estuary and the levels, reversing biodiversity decline at Lagoon 3 and delivering net gain; The high archaeological potential of the Severn Levels and the potential for surface or sub surface features and finds. The open character of the surrounding Levels Landscape Flood risk The capacity of the road network, effects on residential settlement and the safety of other road users protecting the amenity of local communities, including along transport routes; ensuring flood and climate change resilience as well as the protection of air and water quality, and the distinctive rural character of the surrounding landscape and the public rights of way network, including the Severn Way, for interim states as well as end state. The existing reactor buildings, with their distinctive blue and white stripes that form a distinctive feature of the local landscape and are locally listed. Topic-based policies might also cover detailed issues, like transport management, or how standards in relation to carbon reduction in new developments are required, or specific design principles in relation to extensions. It also identifies land and allocates sites for. Planning out space for private vehicle parking to create better places. This will include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and. Renewable heat refers to the generation of heat from renewable sources including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, former mine workings and biomass. Open Spaces within Urban Areas and Settlements, 27. These groups bring different perspectives and additional local connections, strengthening our joint capabilities. It is fundamental that we all share in the benefits South Gloucestershire has to offer, which is why evidence of a growing inequality gap* is such a concern and why giving people the means to turn this around is central to our priorities. In South Gloucestershire the average house price is 8.7 times the average pay (31,609). Given the timeframe for decommissioning, it will be important that the masterplan is an evolving document, and that phasing and review mechanisms for all relevant socio-economic and environmental considerations are built in. The Council will work in collaboration with the NDA, relevant statutory organisations, the operators of the existing Power Station site and the promoters of nuclear new build, to agree a co-ordinated, and integrated and phased site wide strategic masterplan to delivers sustainable decommissioning proposals and beneficial use, reuse and restoration proposals as appropriate, while recognising the context of regulatory, strategy and guidance applying to nuclear decommissioning proposals. It may be appropriate in certain situations to retain and renovate existing buildings, where this forms part of a more sustainable approach to development, or where existing structures have local historic significance. Consequently, whilst it is not a Development Plan document or a Supplementary Planning Document, it is a .
South Gloucestershire New Local Plan Current Environment Agency (EA) guidance (Decommissioning of nuclear sites and release from regulation July 2018) includes for the potential disposal of some Low or Very Low Level Waste (LLW and VLLW) on site, instead of transporting off site for disposal elsewhere. 2.6 A Stroud District Local Plan Transport Group was set up in 2017 to progress partnership working on the Stroud District Local Plan transport matters. The Core Strategy was adopted on 11 December 2013. 3) MovementSafe, convenient, sustainable and direct movement between areas of the district is an integral part of well-designed places. Transport infrastructure may need to be delivered early in the NNB implementation phase, in order to avoid unacceptable impacts on existing infrastructure.

Major housing development(s) should provide a range of home tenures, types and sizes, to meet local housing need and market demand; b) Safe, secure and healthy living, working, recreation and travelling environments have been provided, where opportunities for criminal activities are designed out, secure and appropriately sized private amenity areas are created, and the design of the public realm promotes activity and social engagement; c) An appropriate level of infrastructure to enable high quality digital connectivity has been designed into the development. Since the disposal of radioactive waste on site is likely to constrain future land uses and activities and result in the need for security/regulation, waste management or disposal proposals should form an integral part of master planning for decommissioning of the site at Oldbury. It is important that as much is done on-site as possible to minimise energy demand, and maximise renewable energy use and generation. Stoke Gifford man ordered to pay over 1,500 following fly-tip in South Gloucestershire. South Gloucestershire Councils Planning Performance Agreement Charter (pdf), Hinkley C Connections Project Examining Authority Report to the Secretary of State (pdf). Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment is therefore essential to help achieve the targets necessary to mitigate climate change, as set out in emerging Local Plan 2020 policy, Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. Proposals that support the transition to a smart energy system may include battery storage facilities. Pete Barnard, Headteacher, Frampton Cotterell Church of England Primary School.

You need to pay in advance using the online payment system. Accelerating the decarbonisation and decentralisation of the energy system in the UK is essential to mitigating climate change. Appropriate monitoring arrangements and adequately resourced Management and Delivery Plans for both the Construction and Operational phases of NSIPs will be required to ensure that socio-economic, transport and environmental objectives are met during both construction and operation. The Council has identified ten themes and associated issues, constraints and opportunities relevant to: the development of sustainable and integrated proposals for a NNB development, and the minimisation of impacts on our local communities and environment, and the maximisation of positive outcomes, community benefits and legacy. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? 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. Therefore, this policy draws on and supports a wide range of emerging plan priorities, other emerging policies in the Local Plan 2020, area based objectives, as well as the supporting planning documents. South Gloucestershire Council 05:00, 24 FEB 2023 Are Bradley Stoke and Kingswood part of Bristol? Do you think there are any other issues we should consider in this policy?

The Covid-19 outbreak has tested all of us, not least those who have continued to deliver front-line services, stepping up to deliver above and beyond their day-to-day responsibilities. Given the importance of decommissioning, it is recognised that priority should be given to uses that facilitate the decommissioning of the existing station. 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. However, given the timeframes involved, such wastes would not be expected to arise until well beyond the current Local Plan period. 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. 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.
