Brislington Hill, Bristol BS4 5BD
Bristol Civic Society supports the revised proposals for this challenging site in Brislington Hill. Current plans include the renovation of the Grade II former coaching inn and the creation of an 80-bed dementia nursing home.
The reduced amount of demolition and the removal of the previously proposed two new blocks facing the frontage (included in the previous scheme) have greatly improved the setting of the listed building and have removed a major cause of objection.
In overall terms the proposed restoration and redevelopment proposals will greatly enhance the appearance of this site, which is in a very prominent position on Brislington Hill.
