Longmoor Village will deliver up to 510 new homes, helping to meet Bristol’s urgent need for more housing. With a growing population, a long housing waiting list and not enough suitable homes being built, new developments like this are vital to ensure people can live and stay in the city.
We want Longmoor to be a place where people can put down roots. All homes will be built to modern energy efficiency standards, with features like EV charging, high-quality insulation and low-carbon heating.
Streets will be safe and welcoming, with green spaces, play areas and routes for walking and cycling, helping to create a strong sense of community and belonging.
Key opportunities and characteristics include:
A mix of 1 to 4-bedroom homes, including apartments and family houses
30% affordable housing to help meet local need
Walkable streets, attractive landscaping and tree-lined routes
A central green space with natural play and informal seating
A new village green at the southern end of the site
Homes of up to five storeys in some locations, sensitively placed
New and improved walking and cycling links to Ashton Vale, the metrobus route, Ashton Court and beyond
The masterplan showcases our vision for the site.
Our proposals are shaped around the site’s natural landscape and ecological features. A landscape-led approach will create new habitats while connecting people to surrounding green spaces.
We will:
These green links will help people travel more actively, connect with nature, and enjoy healthy lifestyles in a well-designed environment.
Longmoor is a former landfill site and currently has a low ecological value. The areas around the field which provide better habitat for wildlife are being maintained and enhanced, as new, richer areas of habitat will be planted. Overall, our development will improve the ecological value of the site.
We have allocated a substantial amount of money from the anticipated sale proceeds of the Longmoor site into enhanced public realm within the AGSQ and existing Ashton Gate Stadium footprint. This includes creating a new bio-diverse green corridor along Colliter’s Brook, substantially more trees at Longmoor, green recreational spaces and new flora. This will all be accessible to a vastly larger number of people than the current site at Longmoor.
The site’s redevelopment is closely linked to the wider Sporting Quarter proposals at Ashton Gate and the development will help to unlock funding for the new Ashton Gate Sports and Convention Centre.
All proceeds from the sale of Longmoor will help fund new sports and leisure facilities for the city, while supporting local priorities through new homes green space and infrastructure.
Longmoor Village is exceptionally well located for travel by foot, bike, and public transport. Our transport strategy prioritises active travel and ensures good access for all.
Key benefits:
We are working closely with transport officers at both Bristol City and North Somerset councils to ensure a safe, accessible and well-connected design.
