Harry Stoke

Note: Some sections of this page are in need of update and are in the process of being reviewed.

A new development of 1,200 homes on land at Harry Stoke was foreseen in South Gloucestershire Council’s Local Plan adopted in January 2006.

The Local Plan anticipated that 900 homes would be completed by 2011. In practice, no homes at all were built by this date, owing to planning delays and legal wrangles.

The site is included in the council’s Core Strategy, which covers the period up 2026.

The Core Strategy also introduced another proposed new neighbourhood, named East of Harry Stoke, where a further 2,000 homes are planned to be built.

Miscellaneous news

From the minutes of a meeting of Stoke Gifford Parish Council on 6th September 2011:

“We are currently liaising with Crest Nicholson regarding the street naming for the new Harry Stoke Development. Crest Nicholson are extremely community focussed and are working closely with the Parish Council regarding the new development. It is anticipated that marketing publicity will be arranged for the beginning of December when Poppy Meadows will be official launched. It has been suggested that Crest liaise with the Royal British Legion regarding the Launch.”
