Castle Court, Bristol

Welcome to this website which provides details of Sovereign Housing Association’s emerging proposals for a new residential led development at Castle Court, in Brislington.

The brief

Sovereign wish to create something special at Castle Court. We wish to create an exciting and truly flagship scheme, demonstrating our commitment to a high quality design and landscape led placemaking approach; creating a strong and successful community both now and into the future.

Sovereign will remain custodians of the scheme in perpetuity; our residents and the community we create together must therefore be placed absolutely at the heart of the design ethos.

We are a housebuilder, but as a Housing Association we are also a landlord with a lasting stake in the communities we build. With our residents we have co-created the Sovereign Homes and Place Standard as the quality benchmark for all Sovereign schemes.

The scheme must create an exemplar residential led scheme, considering its location including Paintworks to the west, the river and park to the north and existing housing to the south. The masterplan must sit comfortably within its context and create a real sense of place.

Public Consultation

Thank you to everyone who submitted their comments on our initial proposals. The first round of consultation closed at the end of August 2022. Since then the project team have been reviewing and responding to feedback from the survey and other stakeholders as they draw up more detailed proposals.

Further engagement will take place later this year before we submit a planning application to Bristol City Council.
