South Gloucestershire, New Local Plan Phase 3 – Towards a Preferred Strategy

Join our online session to find out how we are progressing our new Local Plan strategy and policies to guide and manage development and change in South Gloucestershire over the coming years. A presentation will be given by the Planning Team and there will be opportunity to ask questions.

This virtual event will cover the following areas:

• plan Objectives, which will shape and inform a new Plan strategy and planning policies
• information on the amount and type of homes, jobs, and infrastructure we need to plan for up to 2040

The emerging preferred strategy which includes:

• 17 potential allocations within our urban areas and our market towns
• introduces over 70 potential sites beyond the urban area, which we think should be used to meet our need for new homes and jobs and to mitigate the climate change and biodiversity crisis
• Explores the challenges and opportunities relating to the infrastructure which may be required to support our emerging spatial strategy.
• the approach our Local Plan is taking to address climate change, plan for strategic Green Infrastructure, areas for mineral working and extraction, planning for Travellers communities and range of detail planning policies.
