PLANS have been unveiled for a sports hub alongside a proposed housing development on the site of the former Grange School in Warmley.
The scheme will include a new clubhouse and a new 3G pitch for football and rugby as well as refurbishment of six netball courts and three grass football pitches.
Detailed plans for the sports facilities and outline plans for 160 homes have gone in to South Gloucestershire Council.
The council-owned site has been out of use since the school shut in 2016. The buildings were demolished after being damaged by fire in 2021.
Only the former sports hall remained and it has been converted into a headquarters for Majestic Gymnastics.
Proposals for the redevelopment have been delayed by negotiations with Sport England, which opposes permanent loss of any sports provision.
Now consultants have finalised the scheme, which will be considered by council planners later this summer. It can be viewed on the planning section of the South Gloucestershire website (reference number P25/01316/R3O)
While detailed plans have yet to be submitted for housing on the brownfield site, the proposal is for 160 homes, 35 per cent of which would be classified as affordable and five per cent would be self-build. Current plans are for 16 one-bedroom apartments, five two-bedroom apartments, 37 two-bed houses, 69 three-bedroom houses and 23 four-bedroom houses.
Access to the site would be from Tower Road North and Baden Road, although Siston Parish Council has already expressed concerns about about the volume of traffic that will exit from Baden Road on to the A420, near the A4174 and a petrol station.
