The Lockleaze scheme in Bristol has been developed with the city council. It will deliver 185 two- to four- bedroom houses along with one- and two-bedroom apartments developed on land at Bonnington Walk.

These factory-made homes will be rated as some of the most energy efficient in the country, achieving an energy performance certificate (EPC) standard A.

The combination of air source heat pumps, photovoltaic cells and high build standards will put them in the top 1% for energy performance.

Half of the homes will be delivered as affordable housing and it is intended that these become part of Bristol City Council’s affordable housing stock.

Once the land is prepared and access and drainage completed, the first modules will arrive in the summer with the homes assembled within eight weeks.
