A planning application has been submitted for more than 200 new retirement homes at the massive Brabazon development underway north of Bristol. A new section of the neighbourhood has been revealed, with facilities such as a spa, restaurant, boules, yoga and a library for residents living in the retirement complex.
Developers behind the huge project at the former Filton Airfield, YTL Developments, confirmed that the latest plans include the development of 239 one- and two-bedroom properties, which have been designed by architects at Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (FCB). The design is inspired by the style of historic ‘mansion houses’ which encourage communities to grow around shared facilities.
Brabazon could eventually accommodate up to 6,500 homes, neighbouring the new Bristol Arena that YTL is also building. The homes are being built in phases, with the first already completed and occupied, and there will also be facilities including a new public park.
