More than 3,000 home per year are planned for the Bristol area
|
Views are being sought on how land and the transport infrastructure in the Bristol area can be developed.
The West of England Partnership, made up of four local authorities, wants input on how to develop the local economy, housing and transport.
Councillor Mike Roe, chair of the Partnership, said: "We urge every resident, business and community organisation to have their say."
The aim is to map a strategy for the area for the next 25 years.
The councils which form the partnership - Bath & North East Somerset Council, Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council - want to draw up a plan to help the Bristol area cope with population growth over the next quarter of a century.
It is forecast that 3,700 homes will have to be built in the 'sub region' each year.
This will put more pressure on an already creaking transport and services infrastructure.
Cllr Roe said: "We are looking to create more sustainable communities, in other words, create areas where people's homes, leisure and education are in near reach of where they want to work."
The Partnership specifically wants input on what would happen if:
Development was focused on South Bristol and North Somerset
Sustainable communities were developed to the north and east of Bristol - around the M4 and east of the A4174 ring road.
