Development Partner for Hengrove Park

Hengrove Park is a residential-led development project in South Bristol on land owned by Bristol City Council. The Council’s Vision for Hengrove Park is to create an award winning new neighbourhood and destination public park, which fosters community and becomes a great place where people choose to live and visit.

Bristol City Council is seeking a long term Development Partner who understands and shares our Vision, and has an organisational commitment to and experience of working successfully in partnership to achieve outstanding development quality and place making.

The site represents an unprecedented opportunity to develop approximately 22 hectares (54 acres) of a wider 49 hectare (121 acre) site in South Bristol. The scheme benefits from an outline planning consent for up to 1,435 new homes (minimum 30% affordable homes), a new public park plus community and employment facilities. The site is the largest housing development site in the city, and a key contributor to the Council’s ambition to deliver high-quality affordable and market housing in Bristol.

The Council is seeking a long term Development Partner to work with over the lifecycle of the development. The successful Development Partner will enter into a Development Agreement with the Council that will provide a framework for the development of Hengrove Park. The Development Agreement will allow for the drawdown of the site in phases upon satisfaction of pre-conditions. The Development Partner will be obliged to carry out the development in accordance with the terms of the Development Agreement.
