Planning issues

Our initial reservations for this site in Broad Plain have not been taken into account in the revised proposals, most notably the heights of Buildings ...

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

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.

We remain concerned about revised proposals for this site in Bedminster, particularly about its height.

We support the principle of reusing this structure for student housing but we have concerns with the current scheme.

Our view of this proposal has not changed: it crams too much accommodation on the site and constitutes gross overdevelopment.
