Homes plan

A HOUSING association is finalising its plans for a new housing development at Tytherington following the end of a public consultation.

Bromford and development partners EG Carter sought villagers’ views on its draft plans to build 24 homes on land to the west of Stowell Hill Road, north of the junction with Woodlands Road.

The consultation period ended just before Christmas and the housing association was due to meet with the parish council in the New Year ahead of a review of the consultation comments.

The plans proposed a mix of one-bedroom flats and two and three-bedroom houses, all of which would be available for social rent and allocated via South Gloucestershire Council.

Bromford’s partnerships director Clare Crawford said: "We believe there is a real need for more quality, affordable housing in rural areas across the area in villages like Tytherington."
