Bristol Civic Society commented on the pre-application enquiry for this site in February 2025. Now a planning application (25/13400/F), there has been little change in the proposals since then – essentially a two-storey reduction in the height of the tallest building resulting in fifteen fewer dwellings.
In February we considered that this proposal crams too much accommodation on the site and constitutes gross overdevelopment. Consequently, we strongly object to the proposal and cannot support it. The proposed density is well over twice the optimum density for sites in an inner city-centre setting, as stated in the Urban Living local planning policy document.
