Plans for 200 new homes in south Bristol are set for approval next week on the site of a former school. The new housing estate would be built in Hengrove off the Wells Road, where New Fosseway School used to be before it was demolished more than a decade ago.
The 200 homes would include a mix of houses and apartments, with 70 “extra care apartments” for the elderly, while 60 homes would be classed as affordable housing. The site is owned by Bristol City Council and would be built by the council-owned Goram Homes.
The 3.4-hectare site is north of New Fosseway Road and west of Wells Road from numbers 625 to 681. A new pedestrian, cycling and emergency access would be created off Petherton Road to the north of the site.
