Bristol CLT’s first community-led development of 12 homes on Fishponds Road, completed in 2016, is now fully occupied and has been a resounding success, demonstrating what can be achieved. Built on land acquired from Bristol City Council, homes are a mix of shared ownership and affordable rent. The emphasis was on creating an affordable and highly community-focused development, and each resident had to be a member of the CLT, becoming invested in the scheme and the CLT’s ethos. Residents played an active role in the design phase and were also able to self-finish their homes, sharing the work to complete kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and more.See testimonials,
