What happened
MJL Group has been appointed to deliver phases eight and 10 of the Locking Parklands housing project in North Somerset. This development, undertaken in partnership with housebuilder Vistry Bristol, will provide 229 homes on the former RAF Locking site near Weston-super-Mare. The project involves clearing remaining RAF infrastructure and constructing four large apartment buildings.
Why it matters
The project transforms a historic military brownfield site into a large residential community, with about half of the homes designated as affordable rent or shared ownership. The work involves extensive site clearance and infrastructure installation.
