Development

Dovercourt Gas Works

Status: the site is owned by Bristol City Council and has been earmarked for development by Goram Homes. No planning consent is in place yet.
Location: Horfield, Bristol

Bristol City Council acquired this land from the National Grid and Wales and West Utilities, and we plan to regenerate it into a new housing development with the potential for around 60-70 homes. We aim to build a mix of 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, and 2, 3 and 4-bedroom family homes.

We hope to submit a planning application by spring 2025, and will begin engaging with the local community once we have a development partner on board.

This site was added to our pipeline in March 2024.

Dovercourt Gas Works is adjacent to our Dovercourt Road development, which has full planning consent for 140 new homes, half of which will be council owned housing for social rent or shared ownership.

Building sustainable communities

Goram Homes always aspires to exceed planning policy in terms of delivery of affordable homes. Across our current programme we have a target of delivering 47% of our homes as affordable homes as outlined in our Business Plan.

Our developments will include homes of different sizes for market sale, social rent and affordable home ownership.

The number of affordable homes and the tenure split shown in the graph reflects our Business Plan and has been estimated based on initial capacity studies and policy requirements. We will update all figures annually, in line with business planning, or when planning has been granted.
