SUMMARY OF REPORT 1.1 The report sets out the background, policy considerations and the key issues to be considered on the formal consultation undertaken by National Grid for the Hinkley C Connection Project. The report focuses on the key site specific issues. Detailed comments on the methodology, assessment and the accompanying Development Consent Order are currently being drafted by advisors to all the affected authorities and they will be forwarded to National Grid under delegated powers. 1.2 These advisors have been appointed by the affected authorities under the framework established by the Planning Performance Agreement with National Grid. There is no cost to the Council for this work 1.3 There are a significant amount of plans, reports etc that have been submitted as part of the consultation exercise. These are available on the National Grid’s website http://www.hinkleyconnection.co.uk/default.aspx and exhibition boards and plans will be on display at the Committee meeting. Each member of the committee will have access to a copy of the “Project Overview Report “ at the meeting. Where appropriate the document reference from the consultation material is referred to in the body of this Committee report POLICY 2.1 The 2008 Planning Act introduced a new planning system for applications to build nationally significant infrastructure facilities (NSIPs) in England and Wales. The new system covers applications for major energy generation, railways, ports, major roads, airports and water and waste infrastructure. Under the new system, national policy on infrastructure is set out in a series of new National Policy Statements (NPS). (i) National Policy 2.2 For energy-related NSIPs, there are two NPS s designated on 19th July 2011 that are relevant to the proposed development: overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1); and National Policy Statement for Electricity Networks Infrastructure (EN-5). 2.3 EN-1 states that in considering any proposed development, and in particular when weighing its adverse impacts against its benefits, the following should be taken into account: its potential benefits including its contribution to meeting the need for energy infrastructure, job creation and any long term or wider benefits; and its potential adverse impacts, including any long term and cumulative adverse impacts, as well as any measures to avoid, reduce or compensate for any adverse impacts. 2.4 It goes on to note that, in this context, the relevant Secretary of State should take into account environmental, social and economic benefits and adverse impacts, at national, regional and local levels. The NPS provides guidance on assessment relevant to all energy projects which is supplemented by guidance specific to the project type. In the case of the Hinkley Point C Connection, the relevant guidance is to be found in the National Policy Statement for Electricity Networks Infrastructure (EN-5). EN-1 recognises that “in most cases, there will be more than one technological approach by which it is possible to make such a connection or reinforce the network (for example, by overhead line or underground cable) and the costs and benefits of these alternatives should be properly considered ….” 2.5 Section 4.4 of EN-1 provides guidance on the consideration of alternative options for infrastructure projects, including the principles that should guide the relevant Secretary of State when deciding what weight to give to alternative options. This includes “alternative proposals which mean the necessary development could not proceed, for example because the alternative proposals are not commercially viable or alternative sites would not be physically suitable, can be excluded on the grounds that they are not important and relevant to the IPC’s decision”. 2.6 Good design is an important part of EN-1 which makes it clear that good design goes beyond physical appearance, with the functionality of an object, including fitness for purpose and sustainability, being equally as important. Paragraph 4.5.3 states that “the IPC should satisfy itself that the applicant has taken into account both functionality (including fitness for purpose and sustainability) and aesthetics (including its contribution to the quality of the area in which it would be located) as far as possible. Whilst the applicant may not have any or very limited choice in the physical appearance of some energy infrastructure, there may be opportunities for the applicant to demonstrate good design in terms of siting relative to existing landscape character, landform and vegetation.” 2.7 Paragraph 2.8.2 of EN-5 states that "Government does not believe that development of overhead lines is generally incompatible in principle with developers’ statutory duty under section 9 [sic] of the Electricity Act to have regard to amenity and to mitigate impacts. In practice new above ground electricity lines, whether supported by lattice steel pylons/pylons or wooden poles, can give rise to adverse landscape and visual impacts, dependent upon their scale, siting, degree of screening and the nature of the landscape and local environment through which they are routed. For the most part these impacts can be mitigated, however at particularly sensitive locations the potential adverse landscape and visual impacts of an overhead line proposal may make it unacceptable in planning terms, taking account of the specific local environment and context." 2.8 EN-5 goes on to say that although Government expects that overhead lines will often be appropriate and their effects can often be mitigated, where there are serious concerns about the potential adverse landscape and visual effects of a proposed overhead line, “the IPC will have to balance these against other relevant factors, including the need for the proposed infrastructure, the availability and cost of alternative sites and routes and methods of installation (including undergrounding)”. 2.9 EN-5 states that the main opportunities for mitigating potential adverse landscape and visual impacts of electricity networks infrastructure includes the “selection of the most suitable type and design of support structure (i.e. different lattice tower types, use of wooden poles etc.), in order to minimise the overall visual impact on the landscape”. N.B. In April 2012 the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) was abolished and transferred its property, rights and liabilities to the Secretary of State. Applications for major infrastructure projects were thereafter submitted to the Planning Inspectorate with a decision being made by the relevant Secretary of State. (ii) Local Policy 2.10 There is no Council policy on the siting of overhead electricity lines although, the North Somerset Replacement Local Plan and Core Strategy contains policies that seek to protect residents from harmful environmental effects and also protect the landscape from inappropriate development.

  • Examination of the West of England Joint Spatial Plan
    Examination of The West of England Joint Spatial Plan Statement of Tickenham Road Action Group (“TRAG’) on Matter 6.3: Is there robust evidence to demonstrate that, having regard to mitigation measures, the de- velopment envisaged in the JSP would not give rise to severe transport-related problems? 1. Introduction 1.1 Tickenham is a village on the B3130 road linking Nailsea to the South and Clevedon to the West. The publication of the Joint Spatial Plan, together with the related Joint Local Transport Plan 4, has caused significant levels of concern in the Village. 1.2 Tickenham Road Action Group was formed after a public meeting at which residents ex- pressed concerns about the plans proposed in JSP WED007 and WED008 in early January 2019. The Group has over 160 sign-ups, a steering group and terms of reference adopted by the Village. It is recognised by the Village and the Parish Council and has received messages of support from Councillor Nigel Ashton, then Leader of North Somerset Council, Dr Liam Fox MP and other stake- holders including the local primary school. 1.3 The concerns centred, almost entirely, on the proposal in JSP 3 and related JLTP 4 to build a road or roads linking the proposed developments at Nailsea and Backwell with the B3130 in Tick- enham and then to J20 of the M5 to the West and Bristol to the East, This changed an earlier pro- posal in JLTP 3 to build a direct link from Nailsea to J20. 1.4 The overriding summary is that, whilst the objectives and outcomes of the JSP benefit many across the WECA/JSP geographical area, if JSP 3 and the related JLTP 4 are unchanged from their present draft their impact will deliver the opposite to Tickenham and other users of the B3130 generally, namely: • poor accessibility • a negative impact on quality of life/health/environment • create a worse place and, most notably • make for a very unsafe B3130 road through this narrow village settlement.

    4N30 Quarry House Leeds LS2 7UE 4th February 2014 Ms Kathy Headdon NHS North Somerset CCG Castlewood Tickenham Road Clevedon North Somerset BS21 9AX Dear Ms Headdon, CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP AUTHORISATION: FOURTH CONDITIONS REVIEW OUTCOME I am writing to notify you of NHS England’s decision on 17 January 2014 in relation to the third review of the conditions applied to NHS North Somerset CCG at authorisation. NHS England will regularly review the progress of CCGs in relation to the discharge of conditions applied at authorisation. This process also involves a review of support levels applied to conditions. Decision Following the NHS England CCG authorisation and assurance committee meeting on 17 January 2014, NHS England has agreed that none of the conditions should be removed leaving 2 conditions remaining, of which none have amended support levels. Accordingly, NHS North Somerset CCG remains authorised with conditions. The outcome of the conditions review is set out in the attached conditions review report at Annex A. As you are aware, the conditions imposed are designed to address the respects in which NHS England was not satisfied as to the matters set out in section 14C(2) of the NHS Act 2006 (as amended). In coming to its decision, NHS England took into account all relevant information, including the factors set out in Schedule 1(2) of the National Health Service (Clinical Commissioning Group) Regulations 2012. Your CCG’s remaining outstanding conditions will continue to be reviewed on a quarterly basis. Please note the next review of conditions will be in March 2014. NHS England will not review this decision and neither the National Health Service Act 2006 (as amended) or the Health and Social Care Act 2012 provides for any appeal against NHS England’s decision.

Either side of this the Bridgewater Junction 23 has the A39 No A Road at J20 and Junction 8 at Avonmouth has the A4. Through the built up village, with only very few exceptions does it widen beyond 6.1m (kerb to kerb). In some sections one side reduces to less than 3m. This is relevant as UK government road advice states that roads receiving occasional bus and HGV need carriageway of 6m width and regular bus and HGV 6.8m+. In rush-hours, and to extent at other times of day, it only takes for a bus to stop, an HGV or trailer to unload, a hay-baler or agricultural vehicle to wait for a turn, a vehicle to breakdown - or even worse for the NSC rubbish/recycle collection to slowly pass through - for temporary gridlock in one direction (and occasionally in Width of road both directions) to happen​.
