Woodlands Garden Community

Client: South West Strategic Developments


Section: Mixed-Use


Location: Woodlands Golf Club, Trench Lane, Bristol


Planning Authority: South Gloucestershire Council


Description: Mixed-Use Garden Community Scheme

Project Overview

The proposals are for the development of 1,750 homes, with 50% affordable housing, a local centre including office hub, convenience store, care village (comprising a mix of assisted an unassisted living), and primary school, new parkland and other public open space, and pedestrian/cycle bridge over the M4. The development is designed on the principles of a 'Garden Community' scheme where pedestrians are prioritised over the private car to create a step-change in how we live, work and play.

Our Role

We have been promoting this site for development on behalf of the clients since 2015. This has involved submitting representations via the Council's Local Plan consultation process and attending the Examination in Public; submitting pre-applications and more recently launching a public consultation to ascertain the level of public support and objection for the scheme. We will continue to promote the site for allocation in the next Local Plan process and are considering an application for the proposals in 2024.
