Welcome
Welcome to the public consultation on the future of Bristol City Football Club’s Ashton Gate site.
The present stadium site plays a crucial role in securing the Club’s future plans for a new regional stadium at Ashton Vale. As the Club’s main asset, its redevelopment is essential to the funding of the new stadium, ensuring the long term financial viability of the Club, continuing the regeneration of south Bristol and supporting Bristol in bidding to be a 2018 World Cup host city. The Club have decided that a foodstore development of the stadium site provides the necessary financial input, and has the potential to provide further economic and community benefits to the area. To this end, the Club have been working with Tesco to draw up initial ideas for how such a scheme might be delivered. The purpose of this exhibition is to tell you more about the emerging proposals and seek your views and comments on the scheme. As you view the panels, please feel free to ask questions and discuss the proposals with members of the consultation team attending the event. A feedback form is available for you to record your comments and observations on the issues set out at this event.

Clubs Need
Bristol City Football Club has played at Ashton Gate since 1904. During that time the stadium has become a major part of the social and economic make-up of the area. However the stadium is now placing constraints on the Club’s aspirations for the future. Having investigated the options, it is felt that the Club requires a new home and plans for a new stadium at Ashton Vale are well advanced. This fits with the aspirations of the Club and supports the role of Bristol as a regional sporting venue for the South West. It also has the potential to give a major economic boost to the region as well as the regeneration of nearby South Bristol.
However a new stadium is expensive and to ensure that it can be delivered, it is important that the Club is able to realise the value of its main asset – the existing stadium at Ashton Gate.

Why a Foodstore? Having explored all the options Bristol City Football Club has decided that the most appropriate option for the redevelopment of the Gate site is as a foodstore.
Achieving the required financial return from the redevelopment of the Club’s Ashton Gate site will ensure that the Regional Stadium development can go ahead and will keep alive the possibility of Bristol hosting 2018 World Cup matches. • This will yield the necessary land value for the site, which will enable delivery of the new Regional Stadium at Aston Vale. • A foodstore development is less affected by recession compared with other land-uses and will therefore be a more reliable development proposal for the 2018 World Cup bidding process which starts shortly. • A foodstore will provide a wide range of community benefits including around 400 new jobs, new services and facilities. The Club are therefore delighted that Tesco are interested in being involved and have been working with them to draw up initial plans for how such a scheme might be delivered and the benefits that it could bring to the area.

The Store
Preliminary plans have been drawn up for the scheme which would include a large foodstore selling a wide range of food and non-food items, a petrol station and a car park.
The Club and Tesco are committed to ensuring that: • The overall design of the store is of a high quality, improving the environment for our immediate neighbours. • The store is easily accessible for all, with improved pedestrian and cycle routes to be provided into the site. • The store includes the latest technology to ensure that it is a sustainable development.

Planning and Transport We are keen to discuss any concerns that you may have about a retail development on the site so that these can be addressed in our future application.
• We believe that residents will welcome the further choice of shopping destination that this development will bring. • We are committed to delivering benefits through the regeneration of the area as a result of the major investment in both the Gate and the Vale. • The traffic impact on Winterstoke Road will be measured through a Transport Assessment. • The Transport Assessment will look at how the store can be best served by sustainable transport routes such as walking, cycling and public transport. However we do want to discuss any concerns you may have, to ensure that we can address them as soon as possible. Please do speak to any member of the team here today or complete a feedback form.
