Housing development links - everything in one place!


WHERE TO FIND OUT WHAT DEVELOPERS WANT

For any development, if it has got as far as a planning application you can get all the details by going to the South Glos Planning Applications search page and typing in the application number listed below.  Some of the developers also have websites for their schemes, please see below.

BRIMSHAM PARK - 3000 houses

Heron's mega-plan for the land between Brimsham Park and Tanhouse Lane, with all the traffic coming through Brimsham Park. There's no planning application yet - the next step will be a public inquiry in the summer.

PEG HILL - 250 houses

Barretts want to build on the land between Brimsham Park and Gravel Hill Road.

COOPERS WORKS

As well as the houses already approved for the land next to Coopers, there is now a proposal to flatten the factory and build housing on the whole site.There's no planning application yet, but the developers have just persuaded Tory-run South Glos to let them off more than £200,000 of community contribution for the first part of the site.

RODFORD SCHOOL

Without any consultation with local people, the Tories on South Glos have decided to flatten the school and sell the site to the highest bidder, which will almost inevitably mean more housing. Yate Town Council has put in a proposal to rescue the playing field part as sports pitches, a changing room and allotments.

ELSWICK PARK (SEA STORES)

Taylor Wimpey tried to wriggle out of their contribution towards community buildings, and also attempted to cut down the environmental standard of their properties, but the Lib Dem Focus Team councillors managed to fight that off.

BARNHILL ( CHIPPING SODBURY WAITROSE AND HOUSING)


ENGINE COMMON / NORTH ROAD

Although this site isn't even in the Core Strategy, Bloor Homes and Sydney Freed Holdings want to build hundreds of new homes and offices all over Engine Common.
