Planning Issues
Old Market Street
The proposal comprises demolition and rebuilding of 34 Old Market Street plus demolition of the three residential blocks to the rear and construction of a new residential block. 15 residential units will be created.
Redcliffe Quarter
The Society objects to proposals for the land bounded by Redcliff Street, St Thomas Street and Three Queens Lane, Redcliffe. Of particular concern is the building proposed at the corner of Three Queens Lane and Redcliff Street.
Longmoor Village: July 2021 update
The Society has no objections to the access arrangements for the Longmoor Village development, with all other detailed matters deferred until a later application.
Ashton Gate: July 2021 update
The Society comments on an application for the demolition of the existing buildings immediately to the west of the Ashton Gate Stadium and development of a sports hub, hotel, offices, housing and multi storey car park.
Easton Road and Lawrence Hill
The Civic Society supports proposals for 72 dwellings and commercial space in Easton Road and Lawrence Hill, Old Market, Bristol.
St Mary le Port: update July 2021
The proposal for the St Mary Le Port site is not an appropriate design response to this sensitive site located in Bristol’s historic core.
Dovercourt Road
Goram Homes has proposed a brownfield development for 120 – 150 homes on land owned by Bristol City Council, a former depot off Dovercourt Rd, Horfield.
Baltic Wharf
The Society agrees that this site offers a good opportunity for housing but we have concerns over the height and design of the proposal and its impact on the neighbourhood.
Plot 5 Bedminster Green
The Society is concerned with the height of buildings in Dandara’s development on Plot 5, Bedminster Green, which comprises apartments and mixed retail, eating and community uses.
West end of Castle Park
The Society strongly supports the redevelopment of the Lloyds Bank, the Bank of England, and the Norwich Union Buildings site at the west end of Castle Park.
