The purpose of the IDP is to evaluate the transport, utilities, community and green infrastructure and services that will be required to support the levels of housing and employment growth proposed in the Joint Core Strategy. The IDP has been prepared in part on the basis of the information received from various service providers as part of the consultation process, and on the understanding that the JCS was planning for some 33,200 new homes. This was the position of the draft JCS produced in October 2013. The report has been prepared with the following caveats: The cost and specification information received for individual infrastructure schemes has not been audited or tested for accuracy. It has not always been possible to ascertain whether some of the infrastructure projects identified have confirmed or guaranteed funding to deliver them; The IDP is a high level assessment of infrastructure need which is based on the information received and benchmark indices. This provides an assessment which is based partly on theoretical costings and estimates and which should be further defined as information becomes available; Where we have not received an accurate or satisfactory level of actual project information from infrastructure providers, costs and project specifications have been benchmarked and estimated using industry standards and comparable project information from other parts of the UK and/or previous infrastructure projects designed and implemented by Arup; We accept that there may be cases where the cost of delivering infrastructure items (for example, some social and community infrastructure) could be reduced by collocating different services together. No allowance has been made at this stage of the potential to collocate and therefore reduce the cost of delivering individual services in multifunctional buildings across the JCS area. This would require further discussions with service providers; Infrastructure delivery planning is a live process and it is expected that the figures in this report will change over time. Further work, including infrastructure modelling and on-going consultation with service providers and developers, will be required to refine an understanding of infrastructure requirements, funding and delivery mechanisms. A detailed project tracker which accompanies this report will need to be maintained and updated over years to come to provide the most up to date and accurate picture of the overall funding and delivery picture for infrastructure across the JCS as a whole; This IDP has been prepared on the basis of 33,200 new homes being built (situation as of October 2013). With a lower OAN of 30,500 homes, it is likely therefore that the total need and costs of infrastructure associated with population growth will be lower than those shown in this report; and The project tracker attached to this IDP identifies the projects which have emerged during the preparation of the document. There are likely to be other Report Ref | Issue | 4 August 2014 Page 1 Gloucester City Council, Cheltenham Borough Council & Tewkesbury Infrastructure Delivery Plan Borough Council Final Report projects that may come on stream which have not been identified and for this reason, the project tracker forms a live document which will continue to be updated over the plan period up to 2031. The next stage of infrastructure planning within the JCS area will involve the JCS authorities continuing to work collaboratively with key service providers in order to make decisions around prioritisation of projects. Further work on the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) will aid this prioritisation process and the IDP tracker will form an important tool in identifying, developing and prioritising projects across the JCS area. IDP Development Scenarios A Stage 1 Interim Version IDP was published in October 2013, accompanied by an Executive Paper. This refresh IDP has been informed by further consultation with service providers, gained through issue of a briefing pack and consultation during February and March 2014. The process of preparation is summarised in the table below. IDP Preparation Stages JCS milestones IDP stage Date - Preparation of Stage 1 Interim Version IDP in Mar to Sep 2013 consultation with stakeholders Draft JCS Stage 1 Interim Version IDP published as evidence Oct to Nov 2013 base - Process of refreshing IDP undertaken in Dec to Mar 2014 consultation with stakeholders Pre-Submission Final IDP and/or paper setting out final June 2014 JCS clarifications on infrastructure matters to support Examination. Housing Growth The JCS covers a period up to 2031. Over this period the draft JCS (October 2013) proposes total housing provision of 33,200 new dwellings, including eight strategic allocations. In relation to employment land, the JCS proposes approximately 84.2 hectares (64.2 hectares net) of allocations in order to accommodate 21,800 net new jobs. The following tables present the proposed residential and employment allocations based on the October 2013 housing provision by JCS sub-area, as agreed by the JCS authorities for inclusion in the IDP Refresh process.

Introduction 1.1 In November 2019, the Council published and carried out consultation on the Stroud District Council Local Plan Review: Draft Plan for Consultation. The Draft Plan sets out the preferred development strategy for meeting the District’s growth needs for the period to 2040 based on a minimum housing requirement of 638 homes per annum calculated under the Government Standard Method. A separate report analysing responses to the Draft Plan consultation is available to view on the Council’s website at www.stroud.gov.uk/Stroud District Local Plan review. 1.2 In August 2020, the Government published a consultation document proposing changes to the method for calculating the minimum housing requirement for each local authority area in the country. This revised standard method proposed increasing the requirement for Stroud District from 638 homes per annum to 786 homes per annum and a need to plan for a potential additional 1,050 – 2,400 homes between now and 2040.

The entry for Dursley and Berkeley is found on pages 105-116. This transcription was carried out by Andrew Barton of Dursley in 2005. All punctuation and spelling of the original is retained. In addition the basic layout of the original work has been kept, although page breaks are likely to have fallen in different places.

  • Keynote 18 Severn Estuary
    Page 1 of 26 AP18 Severn Estuary – August 2015 Purpose This evidence paper has been developed to provide some context as to the Forest of Dean District Council Allocations Plan (AP) and the Severn Estuary SSSI, SPA, SAC and Ramsar (referred to as the Severn Estuary European Site (SEES) in this paper). It provides further background information in supporting the Allocations Plan (AP) Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) in regard to potential recreational/disturbance impacts in the Lydney Harbour area. The Allocations Plan Habitats Regulations Assessment With regard to disturbance effects in the majority of cases the mitigation provided for in the Core Strategy were considered sufficient to address concerns for any potential adverse impacts. However the HRA screening identified that the quantum of proposed development in the Lydney area had, on a precautionary basis, the potential for likely significant affect alone or in combination on the SEES. However the HRA also identified that the potential impacts from disturbance to the Severn Estuary have to be set in terms of the whole of the amenities in the district. The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are a significant tourist attraction with many formal and informal recreation sites attracting large number of visitors and locals. The HRA found that a number of changes should be made to the Allocations Plan to ensure there were no potential significant adverse impacts of the SEES. These included avoidance and cancellation measures, including additional text in the section on Lydney and policy caveats, to demonstrate how adverse effects on site integrity will be avoided.
