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:

Award of a contract to Stepnell Construction Ltd for the construction of 28 new council homes, A Community Centre and BCC run Childrens Home. Consultation has taken place with the Section 151 Officer, Cabinet Member for Finance, Governance and Performance and Cabinet Member for Housing Delivery and 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.
