Homes on former airfield will be South West’s ‘most exciting new city district’
The second phase of houses and flats on the former Filton Airfield will be built with more space for people to work from home.
YTL Developments have submitted a planning application to South Gloucestershire Council for 339 new homes for the development known as Brabazon.
There will be tree-lined streets, shared gardens, and residents’ fitness centres and workspaces.

Sixty-one of the new homes in the second phase will be affordable, bringing the total number at Brabazon to date to more than 100.
“Brabazon is a thriving new neighbourhood located on a historic local landmark,” said YTL Developments planning & development director, Seb Loyn.
“We are working with world-renowned architects to ensure its future lives up to the legacy of its pioneering past.
“These new homes at Brabazon are unlike anything else available in Bristol. Places are about people as much as buildings which is why the design for the latest phase focuses on building the new community at Brabazon.”
Loyn said that in the next few years, the development “will be transformed into the most exciting new city district in the South West”.
He added: “With the supersonic YTL Arena, Brabazon Park, the new rail station and Metrobus all due to be completed around the same time as the properties in this second phase, these really will be destination homes.”
