A golf club could close to allow for thousands of houses to be built on it, its owners have confirmed.

Woodlands Golf and Country Club, to the north east of Bradley Stoke, Bristol, has two 18-hole courses, but under South Gloucestershire Council’s local plan could become a new “garden village”.

The proposal would see 1,750 homes, a new school and a local centre built, as well as a pedestrian bridge across the M4.

A spokesman for a planning company acting on behalf of the golf club said the owners supported the proposals and, if included in the finalised local plan, at least some of the course would stay open for “likely over a decade”.
