What makes this scheme different?
This project has put residents at the heart of the design and development process. After several years of working with the community, a planning application was submitted to Bristol City Council in July 2019. The scheme won full support of the planning committee and was granted approval in April 2021.
How will this scheme benefit the community?
The scheme will use a local lettings policy to help remove barriers for local people so that those who have a connection with Lawrence Weston will get priority.
A communal landscaped area at the centre of the scheme will encourage residents to come together.
How to find out more about available homes
Homes available for rent will be let through Bristol City Council’s choice-based letting scheme, HomeChoice.
