BoKlok UK<\/a>, the joint venture between Skanska<\/a> and IKEA<\/a>, has been granted planning permission for first UK housing development at Airport Road in Bristol<\/h2>\n

The new housing development\u00a0in Bristol will provide 173 family homes which will be available for market sale as well as support social housing<\/a> schemes by Bristol City Council<\/a> and local housing associations.<\/p>\n

Sustainable homes at a lower price<\/h3>\n

Graeme Culliton, BoKlok UK managing director and country manager said: \u201cWe are delighted that we are able to bring forward our first project in the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Wednesday 24 June, Bristol City Council\u2019s planning committee unanimously approved resolution to grant planning consent for new BoKlok homes<\/a> at Airport Road, Bristol.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe particularly welcome the councillors\u2019 positive comments on the family and child friendly design of our development, as well as their recognition that we strive to build inclusive communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the evolution of this project we have partnered with the local community, Bristol City Council, and the Bristol Housing Festival to create\u00a0quality, sustainable homes<\/a> at a lower price.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to work with the planning officers to ensure that the proposed cycleway is safe for pedestrians and cyclists as they travel alongside our development.\u201d<\/p>\n

BoKlok\u2019s first housing development is expected to be complete in 2021.<\/p>\n
