Sovereign Network Group (SNG) and Vistry Group have entered into a joint venture (JV) to develop 595 new homes in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, England.
The project, which received outline planning consent in February 2023, will feature up to 50% affordable housing, including options for social rent, affordable rent, and shared ownership.
Vistry Group will market the private homes through its portfolio of brands – Linden Homes, Countryside Homes, and Bovis Homes.
Vistry Bristol regional managing director Susan Scholfield said: “This is a transformative development opportunity in Thornbury that can provide a significant number of high-quality, mixed-tenure homes, including a high proportion of affordable homes.
“By working in joint venture partnership with SNG, we can share expertise and significantly enhance the local housing supply, offering local people a wide range of housing choices.”
This development aligns with SNG’s goal to deliver 25,000 new homes over the next decade, with at least half designated for social or affordable rent.
