Countryside gets nod for Bridgwater BTR

Countryside has secured reserved matters consent from Sedgemoor District Council to build 260 homes in Bridgwater, Somerset. The Strawberry Grange development on Bower Lane will consist of 100 build-to-rent, 82 for-sale, and 78 affordable homes ranging from two to four bedrooms. Sigma Capital will partner with Countryside to deliver the BTR element. As a condition of the consent, Countryside will create a new roundabout providing access to the site and a link to connect future housing development planned in the Dunwear Lane area. Darren Dancey, managing director, South West, Countryside said: “We are thrilled to have received approval to bring 260 much-needed high-quality homes to Bridgwater, 30% of which will be affordable. This is a key milestone in realising our vision for Strawberry Grange and an exciting step forward as we continue to expand our footprint in the South West.” The developer has further sites planned for Highbridge, Bristol and Swindon.
