Almost 100 new homes planned for an empty car park of the old Somerfield supermarket headquarters in South Bristol will now all be classed as ‘affordable’ and available through a housing association after the developers sold the land.
MCR Property Group had already got planning permission for 91 new homes on the car park of the old Parkview office site on Whitchurch Lane in Hengrove, but only 30 per cent were going to be available to people on the housing waiting list.
Now, before they started building them, MCR has sold the land to a different developer - Keepmoat Homes. And Keepmoat have teamed up with housing association Bromford to change the plans so that instead of only 30 per cent, now all 100 per cent of the flats and homes will be let by Bromford.
