Allison Homes has launched a consultation on its proposals for the 26-acre site it acquired in July. 

Residents of Ashton Vale have been invited to share their views on the developer’s plans for the Longmoor Village site.

The proposed scheme consists of 510 homes, with 30 per cent designated for affordable housing.

The site was granted Outline planning permission in August 2023 when it was under the ownership of Steve Lansdowne, Bristol Sport owner and co-founder of financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown.

Allison Homes subsequently acquired the greenfield site in July 2025, in what is the company’s largest acquisition to date in the South West.

Residents are encouraged to attend a community drop-in event on 19 September which will provide the opportunity to speak to the project team and comment on the proposals.

Glyn Mabey, managing director of Allison Homes South West, said: “Longmoor represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver new homes, green spaces and community benefits for South Bristol.

“Our proposals not only provide much-needed housing, including 30% affordable homes, but also help unlock funding for the new Ashton Gate Sports and Convention Centre.

“We want to work closely with local residents to shape these plans and ensure Longmoor becomes a neighbourhood the whole community can be proud of.”

The housebuilder will submit a Reserved Matters planning application later this year.

The drop-in event will take place on: Friday 19 September 2025, 3pm-7:30pm at the Ashton Vale Community Centre, Risdale Road, Bristol, BS3 2QY.
