LACK OF HOMES IN BRISTOL. As I’ve said multiple times, it is the planning system that is holding up the delivery of house. Not necessarily planning officers but the policies and system they are working with.

The planning system’s squeeze on Bristol underlines need for nationwide reform, Centre for Cities says

Couple of meetings this morning with some friends and top notch developers before heading to site to check out the sizeable plot that has come with a recent purchase. The house in the middle has come with a 3rd of an acre which as a rarity in Bristol. Plans for this one will be revealed shortly 👀.

We are back.... We've not actually been anywhere, It’s just been an incredibly busy time and we wanted to be more active on social media and show off some of our activities.

Multiple sites on the go has kept us occupied. This mixed use scheme in Bristol is now approaching completion. We have worked with a great team on this one since March last year. This was not a straight forward conversion, sitting tenants and issues with site constraints have made this an interesting one. After adding value by planning uplift over a 9 month period and then carrying out the conversion, the final product is a total of x7 units, 5 residential and 2 commercial units producing a gross rent of £65,000 a year. A great result all round.

We have had a busy start to the new year... looking to purchase plots of land to develop in Bristol. With or without planning consent.

We purchased this end of terrace house for full asking price and later obtained planning permission to build a luxury, detached 4 bedroom home. We worked with the homeowner who was struggling to sell and offered them a creative solution.

Design concept for one of our sites. After 2 planning applications we now have an idea of what the councils concerns are. We have used specials light analysis software to create an envelope model to allow us to place a dwelling within the framework that has no detrimental affect on neighbouring amenity. Next battle is with the conservation officer. Given the rigidity of the planning department we shall now be factoring in appeal timescales with every future development that is slightly out the box. Tricky site for development but we will soon achieve the result we need.
