EDAROTH signs contract to deliver sustainable, aff ordable scheme for Bristol City Council


Crest Nicholson launches 258- unit Suff olk development


Sustainable housing developer EDAROTH, (Everyone Deserves a Roof Over Their Head, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AtkinsRéalis) has signed a development agreement with Bristol City Council to design and deliver 29 affordable homes – based on a new model created as part of Bristol’s involvement in the UN Climate Smart Cities challenge.


The new homes will be a mix of 13 houses and 16 apartments and will be constructed using offsite manufacturing methods to create low energy-use, net zero homes – which will “provide additional capacity for the housing market and directly tackle the housing crisis,” said EDAROTH.


Subject to planning approvals, the homes will be developed at six sites across Bristol on under-utilised land owned by the city council, including brownfi eld sites.


Central to the development agreement are the sustainable construction methods used by EDAROTH including: • The majority of the building parts are manufactured in a UK factory before being transported and assembled onsite.


• The carbon impact of the development process is reduced and also ensures the homes will be delivered more quickly

compared with traditional methods of construction.


• There is minimal disruption to residents living near the development sites as a result.


• The new homes will be built to EPC (Energy erformance Certifi cate) A, the highest effi ciency rating possible to keep energy usage and carbon emissions low.


The agreement is based on an award- winning approach developed by the city council, and the One City team, with partners including the Housing Festival, AtkinsRéalis and EDAROTH as one of four winning projects in the UN Habitat Climate Smart Cities Challenge in 2022. Part of the challenge involved the creation of a demonstrator scheme that “could prove how aggregating small sites for development, and overcoming systemic barriers, could unlock previously unviable sites to deliver truly affordable social housing,” commented the developer.


The new approach identifi es small parcels of land for development such as brownfi eld or underused garage sites, within existing residential areas, which is more effective in creating social value and cohesion as it enables those existing communities to thrive.


Local housebuilder Crest Nicholson has launched its new Aspen Grange development in Stowmarket, Suffolk. The “highly anticipated” development will provide a mix of 258 new homes, offering a range of options for fi rst time buyers, second-steppers, up-sizers and downsizers alike,” said Crest. Situated within walking distance of Stowmarket, Aspen Grange comprises two to fi vebedroom properties which offer the “very best of semi-rural living,” said the fi rm. With a focus on sustainability throughout, Aspen Grange will offer electric vehicle charging and solar PV panels on all plots. With the ultimate aim of creating a ‘Garden Village’ within Aspen Grange, the development will feature wildfl ower planting and ecological enhancements, along with offering an open play area for young children. Aspen Grange will also have both footpaths and cycle routes that connect the development to the wider area, providing easy and safe access to the local facilities within Stowmarket. Karen Coulson, sales and marketing director at Crest Nicholson Eastern, commented Were excited to welcome the local community to our new Aspen Grange development. As well as a variety of high quality, energy effi cient new homes, there are exciting sustainable features throughout and fantastic links to the wider location and amenities.”
