PLATFORM_ has secured planning consent for a major new build-to-rent (BTR) scheme in Bristol.
The scheme will deliver 352 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, of which 71 will be provided at local housing allowance rents.
Designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM), the scheme will breathe new life into a former sawmill site, which is located less than five minutes’ walk from Cabot Circus.
Jean-Marc Vandevivere, chief executive of PLATFORM_, said: “We are thrilled with the planning committee’s decision, which represents a significant milestone for this important city centre regeneration site. This project will deliver a new generation of homes, exceptional public realm, and high quality amenities to Bristol, helping to meet the city’s housing needs while creating a thriving new riverside neighbourhood. We look forward to progressing the next steps in partnership with the council and our advisors as we move toward delivery.”
Matt Willcock, director of development at PLATFORM_, added: “Reaching this milestone is a testament to the strong collaboration between Bristol City Council, the Environment Agency, AHMM, and our wider professional team. Together, we’ve shaped a scheme that reflects the ambitions of the Frome Gateway Regeneration; opening the riverfront, delivering new affordable and accessible homes, and creating high-quality public spaces for the city. We’re grateful for the partnership and excited to move into the next phase.”
