en.Wedoany.com Reported - Edward Ware Homes Ltd has submitted an outline planning application for a 860-home development on the Frog Lane site in Coalpit Heath, South Gloucestershire, with 50% of the homes designated as affordable housing.
The project proposes over 850 homes, along with community facilities and a new primary school, aiming to create a large new community. The scheme includes a mix of family homes, starter homes, apartments, and age-appropriate properties. The plan also involves a mixed-use local centre offering shops, services, and community facilities, while a new primary school, nursery, and forest school will serve as the community's focal point.
The project will focus on creating active travel routes connecting Coalpit Heath to the A432 transport corridor, and providing cycle access to nearby Yate and its railway station, extending further to Bristol.
Approximately 15 acres of community parkland will be created within the development, including a sports hub, playing fields, woodland planting, and improved wildlife corridors, aimed at enhancing biodiversity and providing recreational opportunities.
The application site was previously part of the former strategic development location for Coalpit Heath in the West of England Joint Spatial Plan. Although that plan was not fully adopted, the site remains identified as a location for sustainable growth.
Edward Ware stated that this application presents an opportunity to create a sustainable new community that meets local housing needs and delivers tangible benefits for Coalpit Heath. Through a range of high-quality new public green spaces, mixed uses, and connectivity, many daily needs can be met without reliance on cars, with a focus on low-carbon living, aiming to create a place where people can live well now and in the future.
