Severn Valley have submitted plans for 158 new homes at Beaufort Park, Fishpool Hill, Bristol, to South Gloucestershire Council.

The plans, making up the third Reserved Matters application in Phase 1 of Persimmon Severn Valley's wider development at the site, will see a range of quality new 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes built for local people.

40 homes will be transferred to a housing association partner as affordable rent or shared ownership options for local people to help tackle the local waiting list.

Residents will benefit from having PV panels and all homes being fitted with electric vehicle chargers. The proposed development includes public open spaces including two allotments and a local equipped area of play.

The development also features ecological enhancements such as bird and bat boxes, and the enhancement of existing trees and hedgerows.

Persimmon Severn Valley’s wider outline development includes significant financial contributions exceeding £2.8 million towards community facilities and local transport infrastructure.

Once complete, the Beaufort Park site will deliver 1,100 high-quality homes for local people alongside substantial contributions totalling over £20 million for the local community in the form of new local infrastructure, schools, amenities, sports facilities and social housing.
