A petrol station could be replaced with flats under new plans recently submitted. Each week Bristol City Council receives dozens of planning applications seeking permission for a whole range of developments. Over the past seven days, those applications also included an enforcement notice against a large shared house and upgrading bathrooms in a historic university building.
Every week dozens are validated by the local authority and we have selected some of the more interesting proposals. All planning applications submitted to the council have to be validated and are available for inspection by the public. Anyone is also allowed to submit comments about the applications โ whether in support or objection.
The majority of applications are decided by planning officers at the council under delegated powers. However, some will go before elected councillors who sit on planning committees. No dates have been set for when the planning applications below will be determined. A petrol station in Stockwood could be replaced with 30 flats and a shop. The Concord Service Station on Stockwood Lane would be demolished and replaced with a four-storey apartment building. Dedicated parking spaces would be created for each flat.
As well as generally detracting from the area due to the poor quality of the buildings, the existing structures have reached the end of their usable life, and their replacement is now necessary. A landlord is appealing against an enforcement notice on a house of multiple occupation in Southville. Bathrooms in a historic university building in Clifton could soon be upgraded. Goldney House, on Clifton Hill, is owned by the University of Bristol and was built in the s and then extended in the s.
The building houses offices and an events space, but has few toilets. By Alex Seabrook Local democracy reporter. Get the latest Bristol Live breaking news on WhatsApp.
