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

“Our proposals not only provide much-needed housing – 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.”

A drop-in event will take place on19 September, between 15:00 and 19:30 GMT, at the Ashton Vale Community Centre.
