I am not doing much bike riding at the moment but cheers anyway - assume you've discovered purdown and Ashton court / Leigh woods for MTB?
A friend is getting a place in the Dye Works and it does look good as these things go but I'm not a new build kind of person either. The way they are meant to be extending Mina road park as part of that development looks positive, though.
I'm biased but I think the bit of st Werburghs on the other side of the railway tunnel is even nicer. Another possibility to look at would be Ashley Down - Station Road and thereabouts. You're only a few minutes from St Werburghs on Concorde Way and closer to Gloucester Road. They are also supposedly building a new railway station on station road, but I'd be surprised if it actually happens any time soon.
Also may be of interest that the council is consulting on further walking/cycling improvements on Mina road, this time near the shops. Potentially promising but it's at a very early stage.
You may know this all already given you only live around the corner...
Also its not a conservation area:

@lemonade AC/LW yes but Purdown no. Are there trails there?
Nope, didn't know any of that - not really in any community groups or anything down here yet. Sounds good though.
@lemonade ah amazing! I moved to Bristol in September, live near Ashley stores atm on Albany Road. I think St Werbs is an ace are from what I have seen so far. Easy ride to work out in Filton, not Clifton/Redland prices, good pubs and amenities. Not a new build kind of person though the Dye Works development looks interesting.
HMU if you ever want to go for a road or mtb ride :)
