Haw Wood, Cribbs Causeway, Bristol

25.112 Hectares (62.053 Acres)

For Sale - Residential Development Site. Up to 500 dwellings in part or as a whole on the North West fringes of Bristol.

The land lies on the north-west side of Bristol with excellent access to the M5 at junction 17. Bristol is the largest and most vibrant multi-cultural city in the West of England with a population in excess of 500,000.

Bristol has two universities – with Bristol University being a renowned Russell Group University; a Cathedral, two national railway stations, many public schools, extensive shopping facilities at The Mall (Cribbs Causeway) and Cabot Circus (Broadmead), international airport and numerous business parks.

The land at Haw Wood, Cribbs Causeway extends to approximately 28.65 hectares (70.805 acres). The net residential area, which excludes the school land and the employment land, extends to 25.112 hectares (62.053 acres). The site will be split into phases and each phase is identified in the section “Phasing Areas”.

Exiting the M5 at junction 17, head south towards Westbury-on-Trym and Bristol City Centre on the A4018. Pass the Dick Lovett (BMW, Porsche, Aston Martin & Mini) and Rybrook (Rolls Royce, McLaren and Lamborghini) dealerships on your left and all the landholding is on the opposite side of the main dual carriageway. The proposed main access junctions are off the A4018, north and south of the Shell Garage. This can be identified on the masterplan.

The land slopes down from the west (bordering the M5) to the east (bordering the A4018) with a noise bund being created along the entire western boundary. The land currently has a resolution to grant planning permission for up to 1000 dwellings (including the Triangle Land), with associated employment, school playing facilities and infrastructure.

THE VENDOR
Purchasers should note that the Vendor is a 50:50 joint venture between Deeley Freed Estates (DFE) and Taylor Wimpey (TW).

DFE holds an option over 50% of the land controlled by the JV which will dispose of the land being sold on a fully serviced basis for the best price offered in the open market (subject of course to due diligence on the terms of any bid and ability to perform). This is a not a benchmarking exercise for the purpose of pricing a sale to TW.

ACCESSIBILITY
The land will be accessed directly off the A4018, with two new junctions being created. The Vendor will be fully servicing and providing the main infrastructure of the site. A full breakdown of all the Infrastructure Works is available via the Data Room Link.

The Infrastructure Works Contract will be let by the Vendor and works are due to start in Spring 2020. These works will be fully completed 12 months thereafter. Early construction access for the purchaser will be made available in Autumn 2020.

PHASING AREAS
The indicative Phasing Plan identifies the areas for disposal by the Vendor. Phase 1a (coloured in blue), extending to 5.85 hectares net (14.456 acres) will be restricted to 242 dwellings. Phase 1b (coloured in yellow) extends to 4.592 hectares net (11.347 acres) and will be limited to 258 dwellings. The mix and tenure splits of the affordable housing will be provided by Simon Parks of CJH Land Affordable Limited.

The Vendor will be delivering all the main infrastructure roads (including the drainage and all utilities), coloured in brown on the Phasing Plan, as well as the attenuation ponds, the noise bund and the stepped plateau areas as shown on the finished levels plan (see Data Room). The land Phases 1a and 1b will be fully serviced save for on-plot servicing and infrastructure.

PLANNING
The Cribbs Causeway Planning Application for 1000 dwellings has a resolution to grant planning permission subject to the signing of the Site Specific Agreement under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The Section 106 Agreement is close to being in an agreed form and a copy of the travelling draft is available in the Data Room. The Vendor will be executing the agreement simultaneously with exchange of contracts with the successful purchaser of the land sale/s. For reference the Planning Application number is PT14/0565/O. The Infrastructure Consent is Ref. No: PT17/2562/F

The Triangle Land, a separate parcel of land retained by the Vendor to the south-east, is planned for a Private Rental Sector (PRS) scheme for approximately 140 dwellings. The Holdout Land (shaded green as above) is identified for up to 165 dwellings on the Masterplan and again is not part of the sale area. The land hatched green is within the red line and is owned by Bristol Saracens RFC.
