Bonnington Walk is L&G Modular’s second major permission in 2020
The modular housing arm of insurance giant L&G has won planning permission for its second major scheme, a 185-home council housing project for Bristol city council designed by AHMM.
L&G Modular has been developing the Bonnington Walk scheme in the Lockleaze area of the city after being selected by the council as development partner earlier this year. Homes will achieve an EPC ‘A’ rating, normally achieved by only around 1% of homes.
The scheme follows the build out of the firm’s first major scheme, for 154 homes at Portholme Road in Selby, North Yorkshire, this year, which L&G Modular chief executive Rosie Toogood said in September was “substantially complete” despite only receiving permission in May.
