Decision details
The development of land at Brentry (`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:
This decision is made in accordance with The
Project 1000 Affordable Housing Delivery Plan 2022-25 and outlines
how the council will focus its land, time, money, and influence to
improve the way affordable housing is delivered in Bristol.
The council’s ambition is to work with partners, local
communities and developers to deliver 1000 new affordable homes
each year by 2024.
To develop this plan, we have reviewed the successes and challenges
of previous housing projects in Bristol. We will use these
experiences to determine how we can support the affordable homes
that the city needs.
Decision:
That the Executive Director of Growth and
Regeneration in consultation with the Mayor (with appropriate
legal, finance and procurement advice) approves entering into
contract with Vistry for the construction of 34 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
