the Avonmouth and Severnside Enterprise Area which is in close proximity to the main site. The Oldbury NNB needs to dovetail with these plans Other NNB projects have proposed the use of temporary transport infrastructure, with potentially reduced impact on local communities and the environment. on SRN and on the lives and businesses of local communities Consider the use of temporary infrastructure (both marine and land based) for the duration of the construction period to overcome local difficulties with the minor road network inside the motorway box, and disruption and disturbance to local communities Accommodation & Housing A number of workers are likely to need to be accommodated within the main site for operational reasons Risk that purpose built temporary worker accommodation could overwhelm or unbalance local communities A significant proportion of the workforce is likely to want functional low cost accommodation The travel to work area will include adjoining authority areas, including to the north of the estuary Legacy housing is an aspiration. Private rented sector is not currently considered able to meet the scale of accommodation required by the development and only relatively limited tourism accommodation exists in the area Experience on other NNB sites that temporary worker accommodation may lag behind construction needs Horizon’s consultation for Wylfa NNB indicates up to a temporary workforce of up to 10,720 temporary A general preference for an integrated approach to worker accommodation, with existing communities rather than a large single campus. A mixed economy of provision that blends campus style accommodation with investment in private sector housing to meet project needs whilst also helping to resolve existing shortcomings and deliver strategic housing aspirations Any temporary campus accommodation within or relatively near to the main site should be of a relatively modest scale and must not impact on the wellbeing of existing local communities Off-site campus accommodation may be appropriate on sites that are Regeneration sites that are yet to be to developed Utilise latent units if available Facilitate a potential legacy use A supply of housing that will be available for the workforce, but which also provides a legacy consistent with strategic housing aspirations of the Council and neighbouring authorities and South Gloucestershire Local Plan review process and testing of future spatial options
Emergency Planning* *The Office of Nuclear Regulation land use planning advice in respect of emergency planning around nuclear sites including Oldbury may be found at: On site, Council and other responders’ aArrangements are achieved that must dovetail with each other with the Council’s preferred procedures Evacuation boundary as a result of an off-site incident: It is understood that the Office of Nuclear Regulation may propose to extend this, and this may have implication for the road network or other arrangements The Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ) for Oldbury B would come into force once the site comes under the nuclear licence conditions. tThis could be some years in the future, but it is considered prudent to include this in planning at an early stage, so that developments in the affected area could be controlled and residents are included from the outset The promoter must demonstrate that it will ensure that the construction of the NNB proposal enables compliance with and compliments existing and future emergency planning arrangements Integration of the Existing and proposed nuclear sites Minimise the extent and impact of the new build Maximise sustainability by reusing on site existing facilities, and associated off-site infrastructure Maximise reuse of land, buildings and infrastructure associated with the existing nuclear power station at Oldbury
