These shifting patterns make it more important to create well-designed living environments, with good storage spaces, natural light and views, with access to a range of quality private and public open spaces and public realm. We cant deliver this Plan alone; many of the commitments we are working towards will be delivered either by, or with our partners. This policy is a key principle behind the emerging development strategy of the local plan, and it is also reinforced and supported throughout the plan by more detailed policies which cover specific issues such as design, energy management, green infrastructure, sustainable transport and renewable energy. The local authority is also the enforcement authority post consent. Theme: Flexibilities, monitoring and management, Due to the timeframes for NNB projects, there is the potential for changes in the socio economic or environmental context of the project Since detailed design of NNB facilities continues after DCO consent, it is likely that design parameters will be set to future proof plans The precautionary approach to impact appraisal ensures that worst case scenarios are assessed, However, the duration of impact is also relevant to acceptability Due to the complexity of NNB development it is possible that unanticipated impacts may occur during construction and/or operation. Public concerns about NNB may arise during the planning process and implementation, The timely delivery of impact mitigation and infrastructure can be secured through phasing plans and triggers Contingency Funding enables mitigation of unanticipated effects Public confidence can be built by publishing regularly updated monitoring information on a public web site. A Community Impact Mitigation Fund can facilitate offsetting of unavoidable impacts that cannot be mitigated Community Benefits are a way of recognising the burden and disturbance of a development of the complexity, scale and duration of NNB that is borne by the host community. Where we have emerging draft policies to share at this early stage, we have provided this in this table too. Introduction: A great place to live, work and visit, How we will work: People, Place, Partnership, How we will measure performance: What it will look like, improving our resilience to climate change, enabling development of renewable and low carbon energy supplies, protecting and restoring our natural environment and encouraging greater bio-diversity.

As part of this Phase 1 document, we want to get your feedback on whether the range of planning policies we are currently proposing are correct, and if you have any views on the draft policies we are presenting at this time. can demonstrate wider environmental benefits associated with increased production of energy from renewable or low carbon sources; orc. Where such potential may reasonably exist, including on sites with different use or ownership, development will be expected to either progress with a comprehensive scheme or, by means of its layout and form, enable a co-ordinated approach to be adopted towards adjoining sites future development.

This information is also useful in understanding how once our Local Plan 2020 is eventually adopted, the existing policies will be replaced with a range of new policies that will set different approaches and requirements. 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. PDF Clean Version for Interimpublication - South Gloucestershire However, inequality gaps have increased over recent years and without preventative action, the Covid-19 pandemic threatens to further hold back the prospects of the most disadvantaged. 34.
