The development will see the construction of a range of two to five-bedroom houses with solar panels and capacity for electric vehicle charging points as well as playgrounds and an allotment at Beaufort Park. 31 of the homes will include affordable and social rent, shared ownership and two extra care units, suitable for residents in wheelchairs.

To support and enhance the local biodiversity, the plans will also bring various environmental and ecological benefits including hedgerow and tree retention and planting, bird and bat boxes, log piles, wildlife ponds, and dormouse-friendly planting.

The scheme will contribute over £2m for local education, community, transport and highways infrastructure as well as additional land provision for a potential primary school and nursery.

Paul Moody, Persimmon Homes Severn Valley’s Managing director commented: “We’re very pleased to have secured permission for our Charles Church phase at Fishpool Hill, furthering our commitment to delivering for housing need in the Bristol area.

“With financial contributions towards community, transport, and highways infrastructure in addition to ecological enhancements, properties for a housing association partner, and sustainability features, we have a scheme that will leave a positive and lasting legacy.

“We look forward to getting started on construction and thank South Gloucestershire Council for working with us to bring high-quality and affordable homes to the local area.”

Three and four-bedroom homes are currently available at Beaufort Park from £389,995.
