The latest version of South Gloucestershire’s Local Plan sets out in detail where 22,573 new homes will be built from 2026 to 2041. The council has identified 90 sites for about 12,000 properties that do not already have planning permission or were not allocated in previous iterations of the district’s housing and jobs blueprint.
Just over half of these have been earmarked for the North and East Fringe “urban edge” on the outskirts of Bristol, including current greenbelt land, while the rest are shared out between towns and villages. The remainder of the areas for development in the Local Plan include more than 7,300 that were already in the pipeline, such as the massive Brabazon neighbourhood on the former Filton Airfield, and nearly 3,500 homes expected to come forward over the next 15 years through individual planning applications for fewer than 10 buildings.
South Gloucestershire Council’s Lib Dem/Labour cabinet will approve the proposals on Monday, February 3, ahead of a vote at full council later in the month followed by six weeks of public consultation, with the feedback to be submitted along with the documents to planning inspectors for public examination next year. Here are those 12,000 homes allocated to new sites. More information about each is here.
