Elderberry Walk has been officially opened by the Mayor of Bristol, Marvin Rees, in a ceremony attended by key partners and project team members.
An exemplar housing development for suburban Bristol, Elderberry Walk demonstrates how high social, environmental and ecological aspirations can be achieved at low cost. Creating 161 new homes on the long-vacant site of Dunmail Primary School in the Southmead area of the city, the scheme provides a mix of much-needed affordable, shared ownership, key worker, ethically rented and private sale homes. The design focuses on fundamental principles such as making streets where front doors face front doors, with a logical easily understood layout where parking is carefully integrated. At its heart is the Green Lane, a landscaped street with wildlife swales and incidental play which follows an established dog-walking route to a nearby park.
The development is the result of a unique partnership between Brighter Places, Bristol and Bath Regional Capital and Cheyne Capital, bringing together funding and interests of a housing association, a community investment company and private sector capital to provide affordable homes for modern living that are set in an open and thoughtfully landscaped environment.
