Bristol City Council<\/a> is being asked to consider a proposal to dispose of disused land in Lockleaze to enable Legal & General Modular Homes<\/a> to deliver over 180 new homes<\/h2>\n

As well as providing much-needed homes, the proposed development at Bonnington Walk will see improvements made to adjoining areas of the site as part of a long-term plan for investing in Lockleaze.<\/p>\n

New allotment patches and accessible green open space will be introduced to complement the existing community orchard, a new local community hub will be built, and walking, cycling and road improvements will be made.<\/p>\n

Collaboration with Legal & General Modular Homes<\/h3>\n

The council and its partner The Bristol Housing Festival is suggesting that the land is developed using modern methods of construction<\/a>, as an innovative solution to help address the shortage of housing in north Bristol.\u00a0It is one of 43 sites the council has made available for new housing since 2016.<\/p>\n

The council has been working in collaboration with Legal & General Modular Homes on the design of the modular homes for Bonnington Walk and is currently finalising terms and preparing plans for the submission of a full planning application.<\/p>\n

Local consultation on the development is underway and, subject to approvals, it is hoped that building works will commence onsite later in the year.<\/p>\n

The council\u2019s ambition is to accelerate the delivery of new housing over the next five years, creating 1,000 new homes through various delivery routes, including a number of offsite manufacturing projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need a revolution in housing design and construction, but we also need to transform housing finance and affordability to better support the needs of local communities” – Jez Sweetland, project director, Bristol Housing Festival<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sweetland added: “Legal & General Modular Homes are at the forefront of precision manufacturing, and it\u2019s great that our partnership means we can showcase these ideas in Bristol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thousands of new homes across Bristol<\/h3>\n

Rosie Toogood, CEO at Legal & General Modular Homes, said: \u201cBristol City Council has an ambitious strategy<\/a> to deliver thousands of new homes across the city, and we are delighted to be collaborating with them at Bonnington Walk.<\/p>\n

“Our proposals will deliver a thriving community of over 180 homes, with a commitment to 51% affordable, and a place that is both desirable to live and an innovative step-change in residential scheme development in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we are doing at Legal & General Modular Homes is groundbreaking. Our advanced technology and innovative design deliver high-quality homes incorporating improvements in building fabric and low carbon technologies, ensuring all our homes come with an Energy Performance Certificate A, which means they are in the top 1% for energy efficiency in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are determined that Bonnington Walk will be an exemplar of innovation and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n
