The site in Hambrook, which has remained vacant for several years, will be the housing association’s largest development in South Gloucestershire to date.

Bromford will be building 23 one-bedroom flats, 36 two-bedroom flats, 40 two-bedroom houses, 42 three-bedroom houses, eight four-bedroom houses and one five-bedroom house on the site.

Outline planning permission for the site was originally granted by South Gloucestershire Council in 2020, when 35% of the proposed homes were allocated for affordable housing.

However, after Bromford acquired the site two years ago it was decided the development will be 100% affordable housing, with a mix of 81 social rent homes and 69 part-buy part-rent shared ownership homes.

The development will be built by Bromford's in-house construction team, which is due to start on site next month, with the homes due to be completed in phases between 2027 and 2029.

Lydia Whittaker, senior planning manager at Bromford, commented: “We’re delighted to have secured the final approvals for our plans for 150 new homes in Hambrook, which will be our biggest ever development of affordable housing in South Gloucestershire.

“We’re eager to get started on building these attractive, energy-efficient homes.

“These homes will help meet the need for affordable housing for local people who have been priced out of the housing market.”

Bromford will also be providing nearly £2.5m in contributions to local infrastructure works, which will part-finance a new local primary school, off-site sports facilities and a public art project.
