Plans to knock down a large nursing home in South Bristol and build 106 new homes are being presented to local residents this week. The project would see the Amerind Grove Care Home, close to the Tobacco Factory in Ashton Gate be levelled, and two new streets lined with terraced town houses and flats built in what the developers are calling a ‘low-rise proposal’.
Last October, Bristol Live revealed that the care home was closing, and a day later that it was already being marketed as a development opportunity. Bristol Live shared leaked details of a leaked brochure created by property agents JLL, which showed an artists’ impression of what could be built on the large site between Raleigh Road and Greenway Bush Lane, but the plans being put forward now are for a much lower-scale development.
Two public consultation events are taking place this week to give local people the chance to find out more about what is proposed on the site, which sits next to Aldi’s car park and between the two split sites of Ashton Gate Primary School.
