A Bristol developer is nearing completion on a development of 26 flats right next to the controversial Bedminster Green regeneration scheme - and all of the flats there will be ‘affordable housing’ managed by a housing association.
The five-storey block of flats has been built in Leicester Street, which backs onto East Street in Bedminster, and is soon to be dwarfed by two of the five Bedminster Green sites that will see tower blocks up to 17 storeys high next door.
But while the Bedminster Green regeneration sites have been criticised for failing to include affordable housing for people on the council’s 15,000-long housing waiting list, the development in Leicester Street has now been bought by Bromford Housing Association, and will be let through the council’s HomeChoice waiting list system.
