Councillors approve row of two-storey, one-bedroom homes for disused garage plot

Bristol City Council has granted planning permission to an infill scheme of factory-built one-bed homes designed by BDP.

The practice’s Gap House concept was originally launched at the Bristol Festival of Housing four years ago. Now a run of nine homes will be delivered on the site of disused garages at Bell Close in the city’s Horfield suburb.

Units will feature open-plan kitchen-living areas and a bathroom on the ground floor, with a bedroom and storage on the first floor. According to planning documents, each property will have a gross internal area of 48sq m.
