Skanska and IKEA owned home provider BoKlok UK has bought a six-acre site in North Somerset for its fourth housing project.

BoKlok homes are designed to be bright and airy with open plan living and high ceilings

The site in North Somerset follows three previously announced development sites in Bristol, Peacehaven and Worthing, all since BoKlok’s launch in the UK in 2019.

It will provide around 60 homes, subject to planning permission. These will be manufactured off-site and feature IKEA fittings.

BoKlok is working with technology-driven modular housing manufacturer TopHat to deliver its first projects.

Most of the homes will be for market sale while a portion will be sold to local authorities and housing associations, as part of their social housing schemes.

Graeme Culliton, BoKlok UK Country Manager and Managing Director said: “This strengthens our presence in the western region and will make it possible for more people with average incomes to realise their dream of owning a home of their own.

“Our team is now preparing a planning application, ready to submit in early 2021.

“We are still actively seeking new land opportunities in the south and west of England and welcome contact from the public with any new opportunities.”

The first developments are expected to complete in 2021.
