Scheme for 259 homes due with planners next month

Kier鈥檚 house building arm has been appointed to a new 拢50 million scheme in Bristol by the city council.

Kier Living will work on a 13ha site at Hengrove Park in the south of the city that has already seen the firm鈥檚 construction arm carry out work at the project building a leisure centre.

Other elements of work at the development have included a new hospital and the City of Bristol Academy.

Kier will build 259 homes, ranging from one-bedroom flats to four-bedroom houses, with around a third being allocated for affordable housing.

City mayor George Ferguson, a former RIBA president, said: 鈥淭his finally unlocks Bristol鈥檚 biggest remaining opportunity for new family homes in the south of the city.鈥�

The scheme is due to be submitted to city planners next month with work on site expected to start towards the end of this year.
