What’s planned?

Bellway’s plans will not only bring new homes, but a sustainable, landscape-led community to Brislington with a new community hub and public green spaces for future and existing residents to visit and enjoy – helping Bristol address the need for homes in the city as well as the climate and ecological crises.

<strong>Improving the land</strong> - The site was historically used for quarrying and coal mining. It is also near to a former landfill. Our plan is to improve and remediate the site supported by the delivery of new homes.
Key
  • Main access for vehicles, including walking and cycling routes
  • Walking and cycle link on to Stockwood Road (alongside improvements to this route)
  • Community hub
  • Children’s play area
  • Retaining and enhancing areas for wildlife
  • Wildlife and wetland area
  • Links with existing public right of way
  • Site boundary
  • Adjoining land part of wider plans that include the park and ride
Improving the land – The site was historically used for quarrying and coal mining. It is also near to a former landfill. Our plan is to improve and remediate the site supported by the delivery of new homes.
  • Provide a new mixed-use neighbourhood including a range of homes to promote a diverse and inclusive community, with a community hub at the heart of the new development.
  • Use a landscape led approach, retaining and enhancing features of the original landscape to create a connected network of green spaces, ranging from new tree planting to recreational space and play.
  • Create a positive gateway to Bath Road and Bristol, whilst respecting the setting of the neighbouring properties.
  • Connect new homes to Bath Road via a tree-lined boulevard, leading to a series of pedestrian friendly streets.
  • Provide connected footpaths and cycleways to promote active travel and healthy lifestyles, with easy access to existing and future public transport connections.
