Land at Harry Stoke Road:

Our proposals and how to have your say

Welcome

Crest Nicholson is developing early proposals for Land at Harry Stoke Road, Brooklands Park. We want to hear your views before any planning application is submitted to South Gloucestershire Council. 

This page explains what is being considered, why the site is coming forward for homes and community facilities, and how you can have your say.

Our proposals

  • Deliver up to 50 new homes, including affordable housing, to meet local needs and complement the Brooklands Park community.
  • Create a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) with a hard-surfaced, publicly accessible space for sports and play.
  • Provide a nursery that promotes healthy child development, supports family wellbeing, and strengthens community connections
  • Create green spaces and achieve measurable Biodiversity Net Gain.
  • Provide a community park and green space for the benefit of local residents. We welcome feedback on its proposed use and layout.
  • Engage early and openly with residents, councillors and the Parish Council before any planning application is submitted

Planning context

  • The land was originally reserved for a primary school as part of the wider Harry Stoke development. 
  • In 2011 the legal agreement was varied to allow residential use if the council did not confirm an intention to build the school within ten years. 
  • During consideration of school provision in 2024, the council confirmed a school is not required on this site. 
  • The draft South Gloucestershire Local Plan, now under independent examination, identifies the land for around 50 homes. 

Elsewhere at Harry Stoke, Crest is continuing to deliver new public open spaces and play areas, including play trail equipment, equipped play areas in Phases 6 & 7, and areas of informal open space in Phase 5. 

On this basis, we are bringing forward a housing-led proposal with community facilities. We will seek pre-application advice from council officers and listen to local feedback before finalising the plans.

Have your say

From 10 November to 28 November 2025, Crest Nicholson ran a community consultation on proposals for land at Harry Stoke Road. This included an in-person drop-in event on Wednesday 19 November at Highbrook View Sales Office, which was a chance to meet the project team, ask questions, provide feedback, and find out more information. If you were unable to attend our event, you can view the exhibition boards here.
