Warehouse buildings to let in Avonmouth will benefit from Filton Airfield’s redevelopment

BAE Systems plans to shut Filton Airfield in a year’s time with South Gloucestershire Council planners recommending constructing up to 2,500 homes and a large business park on the site.

This development will bring investors, new businesses and residents to the area, encouraging prosperity and economic growth.

Bristol’s position as a major aerospace manufacturing centre would not be affected by the closure of Filton airfield, a report has concluded.

The historic airfield has been at the heart of the area’s aviation industry for a century. Iconic aircraft from the Brabazon and Concorde to the Airbus A380 superjumbo have taken off and landed there.

South Gloucestershire planners have also recommended that Filton Halt and Henbury railway stations should be re-opened, the nearby A38 upgraded and a new east-west link road built to cope with additional traffic.

Not only will this closure and subsequent development not disrupt Bristols position as a major aerospace centre but will also enhance the area bringing business and prosperity. With such a huge development planned, investors are expected to flock in.

Such developments illustrate the level of regeneration and investor interest in this area. It is because of this that properties like Central Park remain in high demand
