Proposed Masterplan, Land at Frog Lane (Source: Origin 3)
Frog Lane Farm will be a contemporary, sustainable neighbourhood that supports low carbon living and makes a meaningful contribution to South Gloucestershire’s housing needs. Designed around people, nature and everyday life, it will be a thriving and inclusive place that prioritises active travel and strong connections to its surroundings.
A comprehensive masterplan including complementary land uses and a package of transport measures that will be proposed off-site, will enable the development to integrate holistically with both the existing settlement edge of Coalpit Heath and, should it come forward, the adjacent Bloor application proposals to the south at Land East of Roundways. The eastern edge of the Site will form a clear and sensitive transition between development and landscape, carefully balancing community, wildlife and nature.
The proposed development comprises up to 860 new homes, c.50% of which will be affordable, together with a mix of other uses. The scheme features a range of community benefits, including:
A new local centre, including commercial and community spaces, serving both the development and wider residents
Delivery of a new two form entry primary school with Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) and nursery school
Community parkland with areas for play, a Sports Hub and associated pitches, a forest school and allotments
Existing natural features, which will be preserved and enhanced, with habitats carefully managed to boost biodiversity.
The opportunity for the 'Land East of Roundways' (Bloor Homes) application to exit through this site, via the roundabout on Badminton Road, which will help to reduce local traffic, particularly on Roundways, Rose Oak Lane and Woodside, as well as away from the Manor C of E Primary school.
