Shaping a vision for Yate

South Gloucestershire Council, along with its partners, are in the process of developing a masterplan for Yate, which will set out the long-term vision for improving the town. The masterplan will build on the existing character of the town and its existing strengths to ensure Yate is a great place to live, work and visit. In October and November 2020, we held a six-week public engagement period inviting comments and feedback on the emerging vision and ideas for Yate, including opportunities around six key themes. You can find out more about the engagement period here.

You can read about the feedback we collected across the six key themes here or download a copy of the full feedback report here.

Now that we have reflected on your thoughts and suggestions for Yate across the six key themes of the masterplan, we will begin to work on more detailed options across four focus areas:

Yate Town Centre
Station Road
Yate Railway Station
Yate Industrial Estate

In early summer 2021, we will carry out a 12-week public consultation on the masterplan. The consultation will give you the opportunity to provide feedback on the options for the four focus areas.

The masterplan will be an important document that shapes the future of Yate by setting out a long-term vision and objectives for the town.

What could the future of Yate look like?

There are a number of places in Yate that could be transformed and improved to help deliver the vision.

Our initial public engagement period was held between 5th October and 16th November. We welcomed comments made online via our feedback form and interactive map and by post, email and over the phone.
