When I was about 10 I was called young man all the time – a sort of compliment. I was gathering myself together and becoming a grown up person. I enjoyed the title as it promised me adulthood and respect. The young man occasions then waned in the intervening years as I became “sir”.

Other topic papers available in this series: Demography, health, social inclusion and deprivation Housing Economy Retail Leisure, Tourism and Culture Resources (including minerals, waste, recycling, energy consumption) Natural environment (including climate change, biodiversity, green infrastructure, countryside, natural environment and flooding) Transport and communications Sustainable construction / design quality including heritage Summing up / spatial portrait For further information on this topic paper please contact: Planning Policy Team Development and Environment North Somerset Council Somerset House Oxford Street Weston-super-Mare BS23 1TG Tel: 01275 888545 Fax: 01275 888569 [email protected] 2 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The functional relationship particularly between where people choose to live and work is no longer as closely related as in the past. The relationship can be quite complex. It is determined by numerous factors which need to be taken into account in planning for growth. 1.2 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to set out the evidence in terms of the settlements in North Somerset in order to identify their current function and functional relationships with other settlements. The evidence will form the basis on which a hierarchy of settlements will be established. In particular the identification of Development Policy B and C settlements set out in the draft RSS. The Paper will also consider how policies have influenced the form and function of settlements and inform any discussion of whether the current list of inset and washed over Green Belt settlements is still appropriate and whether settlement boundaries are still the appropriate planning tool for many green belt and rural settlements.

  • Policy Framework for Good Food & Catering Procurement Context
    Appendix A: Policy Framework for Good Food & Catering Procurement (i) Context: Bristol has made a commitment to work towards a healthier, more sustainable food system, one which reduces food poverty, supports local food businesses and reduces the environmental impact of the way in which we produce, consume and dispose of our food. Bristol spends £millions on food and catering services annually and every public sector setting, from leisure centres and hospitals, to public open spaces, should have a food environment designed so that the easy choices are also the healthy ones (Gov.uk 2017). Bristol City Council is a key partner in helping Bristol become both a healthier city and a Gold Sustainable Food City. Through the development and adoption of a Good Food and Catering Procurement Policy, Bristol can use its significant buying power and its control and influence over contracts, concessions and licences, to encourage healthier and more sustainable food consumption and drive local economic development. Good food is vital to the quality of people’s lives in Bristol. As well as being tasty, healthy and affordable, the food we eat should be good for nature, good for workers, good for local businesses and good for animal welfare (Bristol Good Food Charter) National and local policy drivers include: Childhood Obesity: A Plan for Action (Dept. of Health 2017) Strategy, Policy & Commissioning for Diet (National Institute for Clinical Excellence (2015) A Plan for Public Procurement: Food & Catering (DEFRA 2014) PHE (2017) Strategies for Encouraging

Since it’s formation in 1991, the stated aims of "Mayors for Peace" have been: “To contribute to the attainment of lasting world peace by arousing concern among citizens of the world for the total abolition of nuclear weapons through close solidarity among member cities as well as by striving to solve vital problems for the human race such as starvation and poverty, the plight of refugees, human rights abuses, and environmental degradation”. Bristol’s twin city, Hanover, launched this international art and peace project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons signed by the nuclear-weapon states USA, the former Soviet Union, and the UK in 1968. The exhibition is currently touring member cities in Europe and North America in the hope that it will inspire local artistic and peace activities.

  • URBAN LIVING SPD Making Successful Places at Higher Densities
    Adopted November 2018 URBAN LIVING SPD Making successful places at higher densities Growth and Regeneration Foreword We are committed to make the most of the development land available in the city to support the significant increase in new-and-affordable homes and infrastructure we desperately need. In the last 20 years, there has been a dramatic shift with people returning to live in or close to the city centre. This urban renaissance has led to apartment living being commonplace in Bristol. The more successful schemes combine homes with cafes, shops, community uses and workplaces to create vibrant spaces with a high quality public realm. With this renewed appetite amongst developers to build at higher densities, including tall buildings, it is important that we strengthen our planning guidance to ensure that we learn from successful places and don’t repeat any mistakes from the past. We want to ensure that future development of the city is inclusive by design, where neighbourhoods are not Credits isolated but interconnected so that varied social, economic and cultural opportunities are This document has been prepared by the City Design Group at Bristol accessible to all. Whilst tall buildings are one way of potentially optimising densities, they City Council. aren’t the only way, and aren’t appropriate in all circumstances.
