Brislington Meadows housing proposals

In April 2023, outline planning permission was granted for up to 260 homes on Brislington Meadows. The plans include high quality landscaping, 30% affordable housing and a commitment to delivering a 10% increase in biodiversity.

The site was allocated for housing by Bristol City Council in 2014 and the plans respond to the significant need for housing in the city. The site is considered to be in a highly sustainable location, close to local shops, community facilities, employment areas and public transport. infrastructure. 

A Reserved Matters application is expected in late 2025, and we will be issuing updates in due course.

Homes England’s landscape contractors will be carrying out planned landscape maintenance works at Brislington Meadows and Sinnott House on Thursday 26 June.

The works include grass cutting to the verge on Bonville Road as part of routine maintenance to keep the grass verge maintained. Weed spraying will also be carried out on the hardstanding at Sinnott House as part of routine maintenance to control the weed growth.

Homes England’s ecologist has confirmed there are no ecological issues with these routine works, however the contractor will withdraw from site if there is evidence of any ground nesting birds or reptiles.

In response to a request from a member of the public about safety of pedestrians using the pavement on Broomhill Road, where the hedge is encroaching from Sinnott House, the landscape contractor will cut the pavement side of the hedge on Thursday 26 June, subject to ecology checks for nesting birds.
