HORTHAM VILLAGE

Population 2011 Census

Households 2011 Census

2017 Dwelling Number

780 283 293

Hortham Village lacks any community or health facilities within 800m. However there are some small

scale retail facilities, with two comparison retail stores and local convenience (small scale food shop)

in the form of Almondsbury Service Station. Due to the proximity of the settlement to Aztec West, 11

major employers and two safeguarded employment areas are within 2000m walking distance.

While the area has no superfast broadband provision, a number of educational facilities are located

nearby, with 12 primary schools within two miles and two secondary schools within three miles.

The area is very well served by public transport. With suitably frequent and timed bus services

running to the local centres of Bradley Stoke, Filton, Patchway, Thornbury and retail destination of

Cribbs Causeway, these contain the key services and facilities not accessible by walking and cycling

from Hortham Village.

The key shows the relevant facilities within their catchment areas.

Grey facilities on the map indicate those within the area but outside their relevant catchment e.g. Community Centre outside of 800m.

Grey facilities shown within their respective catchments indicate that they are not considered accessible due to issues of walking/cycling route quality and safety.

Facilities shown in colour represent those considered to be within walking and cycling distance of the centre of the settlement.

CONSULTATION CHANGES

A Rural Settlements and Villages 2015 Topic Paper was subject to public consultation in November

2015, separately in January 2017 Sustainable Access Profiles were made available for public

consultation. A range of comments were received on the type of key services & facilities included.

Comments on key services & facilities considered accessible from individual settlements were also

received. Key changes made to the range of key services and facilities include:

CONSULTATION COMMENTS AND UPDATES

Facility Justification

Comparison Stores Comments on the 2015 Topic Paper stressed the need to update checks of services and facilities present in each village. In 2016 two comparison stores were present a nail salon and picture framing company.

Mobile Libraries As a result of consultation comments on the 2015 Topic Paper, relating to the lack of frequency, limited availability in many areas mobile libraries have been removed from the list of key services and facilities.

Safeguarded Employment Areas

Consultation comments on the 2015 Topic Paper found it necessary to give greater consideration to access to employment. Consequently safeguarded employment areas (CS12 of Core Strategy) have been included; Aztec West and Almondsbury Business Park.

Employment – Cycling Access

Comments on the 2017 Sustainable Access Profiles and methodology considered that the distance for cycling access should be extended. The council considered that longer distance cycling was appropriate for commuting, provided safe and suitable cycle routes existed, and did not rely on utilising A or B roads, particularly in industrial areas or in rural countryside where HGV and other traffic travels at the national speed limit.

Whilst walking up to 2km to the north fringe along footpaths beside the A38 would be considered possible, there was not considered to be suitable cycle infrastructure between Hortham Village and Almondsbury, to facilitate safe longer distance (upto 5.6km) cycling into the north fringe.
