Crossword Genius

A colonisation that gives satisfaction (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settlement

I believe this is a double definition.

'a colonisation' is the first definition.
('settlement' can be a synonym of 'colonisation')

'satisfaction' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'that gives' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for settlement that I've seen before include "Working out" , "Hamlet - conclusion" , "local community" , "Agreement ending a dispute" , "Small colony" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
