The derelict 1970s Tintagel Close flats in Keynsham have now been flattened, paving the way for a £16 million new neighbourhood of affordable homes due for completion in 2028.
During demolition work at Tintagel Close
The three-bed maisonettes had been deemed no longer fit for purpose and tenants in all 44 properties were rehoused.
Curo secured planning permission for the redevelopment last March and the bulldozers began knocking down the block in January following the controlled removal of asbestos.
The land that is now being redeveloped
The 45 new energy-efficient homes for social rent and shared ownership will range from one to four bedrooms, with several adapted for wheelchair use. Each home will have designated parking and electric vehicle charging point.
A new access road will open up the area, and there will be landscape improvements and open space.
The homes for social rent will be offered through Bath & North East Somerset Council’s lettings system, and the rest will be available for shared ownership purchase.
