A huge American healthcare technology firm has unveiled plans for a large ‘campus’ development on the outskirts of Bristol, which could kickstart a whole new ‘garden village’ being created with thousands of homes being built.
Epic Healthcare has its UK headquarters just off the Redcliffe roundabout near the centre of Bristol, but has told villagers in Long Ashton that it wants to build a new out-of-town campus to house all its workers, and expand beyond the 350 or so who work for the firm already.
And the chosen location for this new campus is what developers have called the ‘Northern Triangle’ - and area of land off the Long Ashton bypass, that is currently pasture fields and includes the home of the village cricket club. The first big public consultation meeting is taking place on Monday next week in the village.
