Nineteen council homes would be built across two sites under plans recently submitted.<\/p>\n
Each week Bristol City Council<\/a> receives dozens of planning applications seeking permission for a whole range of developments.<\/p>\n Over the past seven days, those applications also included bulldozing 16 garages and replacing them with three bungalows and the demolition of former offices at a bus depot.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s this week\u2019s round-up of notable planning applications submitted to the council.<\/p>\n The majority of applications are decided by planning officers at the council under delegated powers.<\/p>\n However, some go before elected councillors who sit on planning committees.<\/p>\n No dates have been set for when the planning applications below will be determined.<\/p>\n They can be viewed by going to the planning portal<\/a> on Bristol City Council\u2019s website.<\/p>\n Nineteen council homes<\/strong><\/p>\n Twelve homes would be built<\/a> by the council on backland behind rear gardens in Withywood and another seven<\/a> in St Anne\u2019s.<\/p>\n The dozen family houses for the South Bristol<\/a> site, off Redford Crescent, comprise nine two-bed properties and three with three bedrooms.<\/p>\n In planning documents, architects said: \u201cWe have proposed a row of houses that back on to the gardens of numbers 34-48 Redford Crescent.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are council-owned properties that do not have any rear access from the site.<\/p>\n \u201cThis back-to-back arrangement provides enhanced security for both the new and existing houses.<\/p>\n \u201cThe layout will allow for a large area of public open space to be created towards the centre of the site and also the retention of the public right of way across the site.<\/p>\n \u201cThe main access from the south will be widened to 6m and designed as a shared surface that is safe and functional to use.<\/p>\n \u201cTo achieve this, a slither of land on either side that is within the curtilage of adjoining council-owned properties will be used.<\/p>\n \u201cThe existing northern entrance will be retained for pedestrian use.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, seven council homes \u2013 four two-bedroom flats, two three-bed flats and a two-bedroom bungalow \u2013 and a play area would be built on a car parking area in Wootton Road, St Anne\u2019s.<\/p>\n Architects wrote: \u201cThe site currently has a high amount of antisocial behaviour.<\/p>\n \u201cThe proposal will improve this by giving the site a more active use with natural surveillance over the street and adjacent green space.\u201d<\/p>\n Planning agents added: \u201cThere will be no off-street car parking provided but instead, new on-street parking will be created in the form of a new parking bay and footway inbound to create on-street parking with a widened carriageway.\u201d<\/p>\n Both applications are by the council\u2019s housing delivery team and funded by its ring-fenced housing revenue account.<\/p>\n Bungalows for garages site<\/strong><\/p>\n Sixteen residential garages would be demolished and three bungalows built<\/a> in Brislington<\/a>.<\/p>\n Missing fencing and a broken gate at the entrance mean unauthorised vehicles park at the site at Capgrave Crescent.<\/p>\n In planning documents, the applicants said this would be addressed with a new fence and secure gate and that the existing access rights had been legally established for the three properties only.<\/p>\n They said: \u201cThe proposal is for small-scale residential dwellings rather than the typical terrace properties within the immediate vicinity.<\/p>\n \u201cThe appearance of the scheme has been designed to integrate carefully into the existing site.\u201d<\/p>\n Bus depot offices replacement<\/strong><\/p>\n Unused offices at Lawrence Hill bus depot would be knocked down<\/a> and a replacement built.<\/p>\n FirstBus is asking if prior approval is required to bulldoze the building next to the entrance.<\/p>\n The company said in planning documents that the building was in a poor state of repair and was not needed.<\/p>\n It said a separate application for a new office building had already been submitted to the council.<\/p>\n Try BristolLive Premium for FREE without intrusive ads and brilliant new features<\/p>\n No intrusive adverts, pop-ups or distractions!
