- View the plans at Brunel House - call 0117 922 3000 to make an appointment.
The quality of your comments is important, but to some extent this is also a numbers game - so do please send something.
Bishopston councillors want to know your views, so please send a copy of your comments by email to:
* bev.knott@bristol.gov.uk (or see here for other methods)
* david.willingham@bristol.gov.uk (or see here for other methods)
Points you might like to consider:
- The scale, height and massing of the block of residential flats.
- The appearance of the flats; "unattractive, overbearing and out of keeping with the area" (as stated by the Bristol Urban Design Forum, see their letter here).
- The effect that such a large number of new people will have on the amenity of the area (lack of parking and recreational space, need for additional school places, extra traffic). GCCC don’t want to contribute any new money towards the locality as they say they need it all to fund the development.
- The effect of the block on the new Brunel Fields school.
- The flats will not meet the council's requirements for sustainable building & carbon reduction.
Also see comments made by other local residents to GCCC here.
