Our response to the Bristol City Council consultation concerning its preparation for a new Bristol Local Plan to 2045.

The Watershed has applied for planning permission to place a digital display screen overlooking the Waterfront

A planning application for a large monopole advertising board in Malago Road is now on appeal, having been refused by the Council.

We have some concerns with the St Philips Marsh masterplan: it is too dense and not large enough for the increased population.

After a long process extending over 8 years from 2018 till now, a revised Local Plan is nearing completion and adoption.

Despite widespread concern, planning application for a 28-storey tower at Cabot Gate, housing 600 students, has been approved at Planning Committee.

The ‘Land South of Princess Street’ application 25/11778/F has been approved, ushering in the tallest building in south Bristol.

Our reservations for this site in Broad Plain have not been taken into account, most notably the heights of Buildings 3 and 4.

Major changes are proposed to the planning system which will affect local authorities and how bodies like the Civic Society comment on development proposals.

The St Philips Marsh masterplan is on the right lines but we have some concerns.

The proposed development for student housing on Fairfax Street is too high and should be two floors lower.

We comment on another high-rise tower block development predominantly for student accommodation between Albert Road and the river.
