Infrastructure Delivery Plan (March 2014) South Gloucestershire Infrastructure Delivery Plan March 2014 Infrastructure Delivery Statement – Supporting Explanation Planning for infrastructure to meet existing deficiencies and future growth is a high priority for the Council. It therefore continues to work closely with its development partners, the West of England Partnership (4UAs) and other statutory and non-statutory organisations to identify and bring forward new and improve existing infrastructure. The information shown in the following matrix reflects the current position at the time of writing [March 2014] based on information available to the Council. The IDP is thus subject to continual update and review as new information becomes available. It is proposed therefore that it is a 'living document'. The IDP matrix should be read in conjunction with the supporting Evidence Appendices. The following tables give a broad indication of the planned provision, cost and need for infrastructure in South Gloucestershire (to 2027). It sets out planned infrastructure to meet existing deficiencies where information is available, plus that required to meet growth as set out in the South Gloucestershire Local Plan 2006 & Core Strategy (Dec 2013). It thereby indicates requirements for additional infrastructure which would not have been necessary but for the implementation of the proposed development. Where available, items contained within existing S106 agreements for major development sites (or agreements in advanced states of negotiation) have been reflected. For clarity these major sites are Emersons Green Science Park, Charlton Hayes, Harry Stoke, Emersons Green East, Park Farm –Thornbury, North Yate New Neighbourhood & University of the West of England. These sites may from time to time, be subject to change due to negotiation and viability testing instigated by the respective developers. For other sites (Land East of Coldharbour Lane and the New Neighbourhoods at East of Harry Stoke &Cribbs Patchway) infrastructure requirements reflect current SGC requirements and negotiations that may be at a less advanced stage of agreement and therefore are subject to change. These sites are subject to ongoing master planning and viability testing. There will therefore be updates to the infrastructure requirements as discussions with respective development partners, statutory bodies and other service providers progress. Costs of infrastructure are predominantly approximations in advance of detailed negotiations between the Council, developers and infrastructure providers. The Council intends to bring forward a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Until such time as a CIL Charging Schedule is adopted by the Council, all sites including ‘windfalls’ will thereby continue to be subject to planning obligations tests set out under Part 11 of the CIL Regulations 2010. It is generally not possible to determine the split in terms of cost between S106 and CIL contributions in advance of the adoption of the CIL and agreement of S106 agreements for the principal strategic development sites. Lead Agencies are those organisations that are predominantly responsible for delivery of the item. SGC - South Gloucestershire Council, BCC - Bristol City Council, WEP - West of England Partnership, WoE – West of England HCA - Housing & Communities Agency, RSL - Registered Social Landlord, PCT - Primary Care Trust, EA - Environment Agency, ESCO - Energy Supply Company, UWE - University of the West of England. LEP – Local Enterprise Partnership Phasing is indicated in the expected year(s) as can best be anticipated from Asset Management & Capital Programmes and projected build rates / housing completions. Funding Sources are indicated where known. Unless otherwise indicated it is anticipated that Developer Funding will be the primary source of finance, however in many instances this is yet to be confirmed and will be subject to negotiation and viability of schemes. CSR – Comprehensive Spending Review S106 - Section 106 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, CIL - Community Infrastructure Levy, , DfT - Department of Transport, LTP - Local Transport Plan, JLTP - Joint Local Transport Plan, DCFS - Dept of Children & Family Services, LSVT - Large Scale Voluntary Transfer (funding from the sale of Council houses to Merlin Housing Association), BSF - Building Schools of the Future, NAHP - National Affordable Housing Programme, PFI - Private Finance Initiative, DEFRA - Dept of Environment Food & Rural Affairs AHPs – Affordable Housing Providers DIIP – Delivery Infrastructure Investment Plan OFWAT - The Water Services Regulation Authority NHB – New Homes Bonus CRD - City Region Deal (EDF) SIF – Sustainable Infrastructure Fund Where the primary source of funding does not become available or only partially available, the Council will work with its partners to continue to review need, tailor schemes to the available funding and improve the efficiency of existing assets. In some circumstances it may however be decided that proposed development should not go ahead without critical infrastructure.

  • Outline Business Case
    West of England - Outline Business Case Project Title: A4174/Wraxall Road Roundabout Signal Scheme Project Owner: Richard Gillingham, South Gloucestershire Council Promoter and partners: South Gloucestershire Council Description of Intervention: Wraxall Road Roundabout is located on the A4174 Avon Ring Road in South Gloucestershire south- east of Kingswood and north-west of Cadbury Heath (see below). The northern and southern arms of the roundabout are the dual carriageway A4174. The side-road arms of Wraxall Road Roundabout are Wraxall Road to the west and Tower Lane to the east. A4174/Wraxall Road Roundabout To the north the A4174 continues through the A420 Roundabout that provides access to Kingswood and forms a major arterial route into Bristol. Further north the A4174 continues through the East Fringe to the M32 and the A38 beyond that to the west. The A4174 terminates some 3.6km to the south at Hicks Gate Roundabout at the intersection between the A4174 and the A4 with the latter providing a key strategic route into Brislington and Bristol, to the west, and towards Bath in the east. Wraxall Road Roundabout currently experiences congestion with delays mainly on the side-road arms during the weekday morning peak period of nearly 30 seconds according to journey time data, and delays of over a minute on most approaches during the weekday evening peak period. Delays on the A4174 southbound approach are nearly one and half minutes during this period. There are a number of development sites in the North and East Fringe that are either committed or in the planning process.
