Our plans to build 1,000+ homes for Bristol by 2031 have been approved🎉
This week Bristol City Council's Strategy & Resources Policy Committee unanimously approved our 2026/27 Business Plan.
This means we've a green light to develop five sites across the city with our partners, and bring forward our priority pipeline sites. These will:
🏡 Deliver around 50% affordable housing, directly addressing the city's housing crisis.
🗝️ Unlock complex, brownfield sites for regeneration.
🌿 Deliver energy efficient homes, supporting Bristol's net zero goals.
✅ Support the Council’s Corporate Strategy priority of creating safe, healthy neighbourhoods.
We're also excited to start our new financial year in contract to build 2,000+ homes.
