Notice Title

Brabazon and West Innovation Arc - Feasibility Study

Notice Description

Together, the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority and South Gloucestershire Council wish to explore the opportunity to catalyse further transformational change in the West Innovation Arc. This includes unlocking a step change in housing delivery above the 6,500 homes currently planned for at the Brabazon development and harnessing opportunities to deliver growth across the wider Arc. At this increased scale, the development site and environs would take on the role and function of a new City District. We want to investigate whether this is realistic and deliverable in a way that ensures existing communities can benefit from this new role and function.
