Bromford has secured planning consent for a new affordable housing scheme in Gloucester.
The development at New Dawn View, next to the Crypt School, will provide a mix of semi-detached houses and maisonettes, with 19 homes made available to rent and 11 for low-cost home ownership through Bromford’s shared ownership scheme.
Bromford purchased the 2.5-acre site from Gloucestershire County Council in 2024 as part of plans to expand its in-house construction programme.
Corrina Johnson, project manager at Bromford, said: “We’re thrilled to have been given the green light to bring these much-needed affordable homes to Gloucester. We know demand for affordable housing in the city is extremely high and this scheme reflects our commitment to meeting that demand by increasing the availability of quality affordable homes that will have a positive impact on the local community.
“We’ve worked closely with Gloucester City Council to ensure this development meets the highest standards of design, sustainability and community integration and appreciate the support they’ve given to our application. We’re now looking forward to getting spades in the ground in early 2026 and delivering these 30 new homes.”
Mark Godson, director at SF Planning, which advised Bromford on the planning application, added: “This is a really important site for affordable housing in Gloucester. The application process has involved multiple phases, and we’re delighted to have now secured the consent that means development on site can begin.”
Luke Shervey, cabinet member for housing at Gloucester City Council, said: “I’m absolutely delighted to see the delivery of a fully affordable housing scheme right here in Gloucester. This development is a vital step forward in providing much needed homes for our most vulnerable residents, hardworking families, and everyone who calls Gloucester their home and place of work. It’s fantastic to be working with Bromford, a trusted housing delivery partner.”
