South Gloucestershire gardens and golf club housing plans

Woodlands Golf Club is one of the sites that could become housing

Several new "garden villages" and a golf course north of Bristol could become housing under new plans.

Some 40,000 homes could be built in 20 years under the plans from South Gloucestershire Council.

The council is to assess the suitability of 348 possible sites, around 150 of which are agricultural.

Others are gardens or garages, another is the former Kleeneze site in Hanham and another is for the Woodlands Golf Club near Bradley Stoke.

The authority is to assess their suitability but any development would still require planning permission.

Six of the biggest proposed sites are: Tortworth garden village; Buckover garden village; land to the north of Warmley, east fringe; land near Hortham lane in Almondsbury; land between Emersons Green and Pucklechurch and Kingsgrove farm in Chipping Sodbury.
