Planning History

Outline Planning Consent – June 2005

In June 2005 the council granted outline planning permission for the redevelopment of Hengrove Park.  The masterplan which formed the basis of the outline application proposed a wide variety of uses on the Hengrove Park site in high quality surroundings, maintaining a large area of open space. In summary the scheme included:

• A newly landscaped park of 48 hectares providing a range of informal spaces for a variety of uses (including 15 hectares of ‘The Mounds’ which is an area of ecological conservation).
  
• 11 hectares of residential land for up to 690 new homes
  
• South Bristol Community Hospital
  
• A 50m swimming pool and sports centre
  
• Over 8 hectares of employment land for a range of office and light industrial units
  
• 'Common infrastructure’ comprising roads, car parking and footpaths.
