North Somerset is projected to deliver around 25,000 new homes to 2036. A large proportion of these will be at Strategic Development Locations (SDL’s). Significant opportunities exist for JV investment and development partnerships relating to infrastructure, commercial and residential development, particularly modern methods of construction.
