We’re so thrilled to announce that has awarded us £50k from its Community Energy Fund. This will enable us to conduct a feasibility study on the optimal mix of solar PV micro grid, ground source heat and anaerobic digestion. We’ll also be finding out if there might be potential to feed ground source heat to atleast some of our immediate neighbours, thereby reducing their heating bills and growing their resilience too 🤩💪🏼💚

We’ve updated the ‘Sea Mills project’ and FAQs pages of our website and also written a new blog about our experience of the planning phase. Here is a link to the updated project page.

It has been an epic journey since we held our public consultation in 2022. We want to thank everyone who fed into the consultation. Your insights, questions, feelings, ideas and stories have helped us to further shape the plans of this ground breaking project, thank you. 2023 and Spring 2024 saw us....

In 7 months we’ve used all the resources the planet can regenerate in one year. For the rest of the year we’ll be stealing from future generations.

We’re so thrilled, excited and proud to share Tiny House Community Bristol ‘s first planning application for our first urban Tiny House Cohousing Regenerative Settlement in Sea Mills, Bristol 😃
It’s been an incredibly fascinating, challenging, growthful process for all of us at THCB, which we have undertaken using a deeply democratic process of dynamic governance called Sociocracy.
I can’t thank our wonderful and amazing co-Project Manager Noah Fagan enough, for all of his patience, care, guidance, perseverance, optimism, laughter and friendship! You’re our superhero, Noah! The many volunteers who dedicated thousands of hours of their time
So many thanks too for all the wonderful design work ftom Barefoot Architects and invaluable planning consultancy expertise from James Shorten at Perma Geo, including his ReSet Framework! Also, the amazing support from Patrycja Waclawczyk and her team at Buro Happold
We couldn’t have achieved any of this without the thousands of hours of unpaid work from our wonderful volunteers, who are also the prospective residents; and the amazing funding support from Power to Change Resonance Limited Venturesome and the Community Housing Fund. Thank you so much to all of you.
