Decision details

Site Remediation Approval to enable the development of land at Brunel Ford (former car dealership), Muller Rd, Bristol. (`Land-led’ scheme).

Decision Maker: Executive Director: Growth and Regeneration

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To accelerate the provision of housing to meet the Mayor’s target of making sure that 2,000 new homes – 1000 affordable – are built in Bristol each year by 2024.

Decision:

To enter into contract with Walters Group to undertake the remediation of the ‘old’ Brunel Ford garage site to enable the construction of 32 new council homes.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - The alternative is to sell the sites, but this is likely to result in a lower level of “genuinely affordable” homes being delivered.
Option 2 - The scheme enables the HRA to spend RTB receipts at risk of being returned.
Option 3 -The proposal is for a revenue generating scheme that will benefit the HRA Business Plan.
