ousing association Bromford has announced the purchase of 91 new homes from housebuilder Keepmoat
which has started construction on its new housing development, Park View, at Hawkfield Way on the outskirts of Bristol. Bromford purchased the new homes to provide
affordable housing in the area. 69 of the new homes will be available for social rent, with the remaining 22 homes available to part-buy, part-rent through its shared ownership scheme. Te development will be made up of 74 two, three and four-bedroom houses in addition to 17 one and two-bedroom apartments. Planning permission for Park View was granted
in March 2023 & construction will take around two years, with the first of the new homes expected to be complete by the end of 2023. Overall completion is expected towards the end of 2024. Te start on site was celebrated by a visit
from local dignitaries including Councillor Tom Renhard, Cabinet Member for Housing at Bristol City Council, John Smith, Executive Director for Growth and Regeneration; and Louise Davidson, Housing Strategy & Enabling Manager. Cllr Renhard said: “I welcome this proposed
development of much needed affordable homes that will add to the 11,000 new homes already completed in the city between 2016 and 2022. Tis will see new homes for social rent and affordable
home ownership delivered for Bristol’s citizens in housing need, adding to the 474 new affordable homes built in Bristol in 2021/22. With over 19,000 households on the council’s housing register, including many families looking for larger homes, I am particularly pleased to see two, three, and four bedroom family homes being built here as we continue to accelerate affordable housing delivery across the city.”

“We’re really excited to see work getting underway here at Parkview. Te partnership with Keepmoat to build these new homes is a testament to our commitment to providing new affordable housing in Bristol, which has become one of the most expensive cities in the country to buy or rent a home in recent years. We can’t wait to hand over the keys to our first customers and see them move in.”
