Hundreds of homes could be built on two countryside sites on the outskirts of Bristol according to a consultation on the new Local Plan. Three other countryside sites could however be saved from development, which are no longer earmarked for housing.
Up to 750 homes could be built on land off the Bath Road in Brislington, on the greenbelt near the park and ride which could be relocated to make more room for housing. 350 homes could also be built off Elsbert Drive in Bishopsworth on a site partially in North Somerset.
The two sites have been allocated for housing under the draft new Local Plan, which sets out where development should take place in Bristol over the next 20 years, as well as setting rules and policies which developers must follow, like on supporting the climate and nature, and affordable housing.
