Sensitive green ďŹ eld site on eastern edge of Thornbury. The company recognised that an under supply of housing locally existed and therefore submitted a speculative hybrid application for 109 homes in detail and 300 in outline to demonstrate early delivery potential of the site. The site was granted at appeal when an Inspector agreed that there was an under supply of housing in the town.
Since the appeal, the local Council has visited the site and praised the Company for the quality of the housing provided and the consistent number of homes delivered from the site each year to meet local housing needs.

Hunters Moon, Chippenham
An Outline Planning Application was submitted for the demolition of existing buildings & structures & mixed-use development comprising up to 450 dwellings, up to 2.41 ha of employment (B1, B2 & B8) development, public open space, landscaping, & all associated infrastructure works; with a Full Planning Application for the first phase of the development comprising 142 dwellings, open space, 10 no. B1 employment units, drainage works including attenuation pond; & associated infrastructure.
An outline planning permission was granted by the Secretary of State following an appeal on this allocated housing site for 430 homes, significant open space, play areas and care facilities.
At the time of submission the site was not allocated for any use and was outside the development boundary but was promoted because the Council could not demonstrate a five year housing land supply. To assist the Council’s employment led planning strategy, Bloor Homes has committed to speculatively build 10 employment start up units. Bloor Homes worked closely with the Council and due to the on-site abnormal costs, the company were able to negotiate a reduction of 13% from the affordable housing requirement. The site obtained a resolution to grant planning permission in June 2017 and the company are expecting to be on site within a year. 30.00 hectares 450 new homes 01/2017 planning submission planning permission build start anticipated completion

Seale Hayne, Newton Abbott
Allocated within Teignbridge there is a Local Plan for 1,200 homes, commercial development a new primary school and open space. Prior to the allocation within the Local Plan the key holdings were sold to a mixed group of purchasers who came together under an agreement with one of the landowners leading the development process as promoter. After an initial success with the allocation the complexity of the project led to the need for substantial skill and expertise that the company was able to bring in. Bloor subsequently acquired the promotion company and thus the consortium documentation from the project lead along with some freehold interests. At the same time separate option agreements were secured over the balance of the land within the allocation.
The company is now making the required investments in promotion and utilising our signiďŹ cant in-house expertise to take the site through to a planning application. Bloor is now actively promoting the balance of the land for a further signiďŹ cant extension to the current mixed-use scheme as part of the Greater Exeter Strategic Plan.
The increase in homes will benefit the local community in terms of further facilities, high quality housing and employment opportunities but will also deliver further returns for the land owners in years to come. 160 hectares 1,200 new homes Summer 2018 planning submission planning permission build start anticipated completion
