Vistry Partnerships and Barratt Developments have joined forces to deliver 760 much-needed new homes in Bridport, Dorset
The new homes in Bridport will include over 120 affordable homes, large areas of public open space and a raft of wildlife and ecological enhancements.
The development will offer a wide range of homes from contemporary apartments and two-bedroom houses, to three, four and five-bedroom homes.
The new homes in Bridport will unlock the delivery of a new primary school, local retail centre, employment land and a care home.
It will also deliver significant community infrastructure, including wildlife-friendly landscaping, an orchard and allotments, cycle routes and footpaths.
The project will provide investment into the local economy, supporting over 2,000 jobs in Bridport and beyond.
‘Pooling resources to accelerate new homes’
Stephen Teagle, CEO Vistry Partnerships, said: “I’m delighted we’ve formed this partnership with another leading housebuilder in Barratt Developments.
“As our proposals progress, we will be engaging stakeholders ahead of submitting a detailed planning application this summer.
“By working together and pooling our resources we can accelerate the number of new homes across all tenures and deliver important community infrastructure that will leave a positive and lasting legacy for the community as a whole.”
Philip Barnes, group land & planning director, Barratt Developments, added: “We’re proud to be working with our partners at Vistry to bring forward a vibrant new community for Bridport, delivering much-needed new homes and supporting local jobs, businesses and the Dorset economy.
“As well as a wide range of new homes, the development will include substantial open space from recreational areas to allotments, footpaths and cycle ways celebrating and protecting nature and the environment and supporting health and wellbeing.”
