St. Lucia Crescent, Horfield, Bristol BS7

Exciting Residential Development Opportunity – Full Planning Consent Granted

A rare opportunity to acquire a development site measuring approximately 315 m2, currently occupied by a 2-bedroom prefabricated bungalow. The site benefits from full planning permission for the demolition of the existing structure and the erection of a new dwelling, offering excellent scope for redevelopment.

Previously, the site had approved plans for two semi-detached bungalows (1 x 2-bedroom and 1 x 1-bedroom), although this consent has now lapsed. There is potential to reapply for similar or alternative schemes, as a neighbouring site has successfully secured planning for a new house—suggesting flexibility in planning policy for the area.

Located in close proximity to Southmead Hospital, the site is ideally positioned for a range of buyers, including builders, developers, and investors looking to capitalise on strong local demand.
