Melburg secures elusive Gateway 2 approval in record time paving the way for Bristol’s first eco-student housing scheme
Melburg, the privately owned real estate investment and development company announces the successful approval of Gateway 2 at their 399 bed eco-PBSA development in Bristol city centre.
The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) introduced the necessity for Gateway 2 approval as part of a rigorous inspection of building regulation requirements to ensure that building safety is considered at each stage of the design and construction process.
The timing of the approval will enable Melburg, alongside their contractor Winvic Construction, to deliver the scheme for the 2026/27 academic year, providing much needed student accommodation into Bristol’s critically under supplied market.
A spokesperson for Melburg commented.
“Achieving the necessary approvals is a milestone for the project and reaffirms Melburg’s commitment to delivering the safest, highest quality, most sustainable built form across all our developments.
We are passionate about making buildings better for the environment, and environments better for people. The teams reimagination of a decaying, not fit for purpose secondary office into this BREEAM excellent, EPC A rated eco-PBSA building is the embodiment of that vision”
