South Gloucestershire Council is relatively early in preparing their new Local Plan. At this point, few developers would have detailed images of what the new homes would look like. However, we can share diagrams and principles upon which we would design the homes and propose making access and exit to the road network safer*.
We want to make it clear that we are not putting forward the Gables Olveston proposal as a planning application at this stage. Although our site has preferred site status, there is much more work that the Council must carry out to satisfy a Government Inspector that its overall development plan is a sound document to deliver the housing needs of South Gloucestershire up to 2042. An application would only be made to the Council once the Local Plan has been adopted (likely 2025).
Our proposals reflect the current needs of Olveston. The home sizes most needed by young couples, families, and older people are 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms. We anticipate a limited number of 4-bedroom homes as this would repeat what limited housing is already on offer in the parish in the second-hand market.
Gables Olveston would offer more home choices, less expensive housing, net zero carbon homes, and the opportunity to improve affordable housing availability in Olveston.
Based on transport data, we expect our proposal for twenty homes to generate around ten car trips in AM and PM peak times. To manage the road safety impacts of this limited extra traffic, we propose using this opportunity to benefit all who travel on Vicarage Lane/ The Street. We will:
We are exploring how we can use the site space near the back of Olveston Primary School to benefit children and teaching staff.
