South Gloucestershire Council have presented their new Local Housing Plan, which has identified a number of sites in Almondsbury that they feel would be suitable for housing, which in total comes to 1,640 new houses.
This includes 750 houses as part of a new ‘Garden Village’ at the Woodlands Golf Course, 400 houses on land south of Gloucester Road, 95 houses off Blackhorse Hill and 70 houses at land between Over Lane and the B4055.
A further 270 houses are proposed south of the B4055, Easter Compton and there are a few smaller proposed sites at Hortham Lane, the Paddock and off Tockington Lane. Some of these sites amount to a considerable expansion of the area, and our community needs to have our say on the proposals.
Concerns have already been raised about the pressure this amount of new housing would put on our roads, schools and our local health services.
We want to make sure that our voice is heard, that the Council listen to residents throughout Almondsbury and Rudgeway, and ensure that any housing comes with the necessary infrastructure and investment. We need your views on the plans to build new houses in Almondsbury, so we can demonstrate the community’s views clearly to decision makers at the Council.
