A fancy ice cream parlour is due to open at the top of Park Street soon according to new plans recently submitted. 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 two new children\u2019s homes and building a house in a garden. Here\u2019s this week\u2019s round-up of notable planning applications submitted to the council.<\/p>\n 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 \u2014 whether in support or objection.<\/p>\n 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. They can be viewed by going to the planning portal<\/a> on Bristol City Council\u2019s website.<\/p>\n Ice cream parlour<\/strong><\/p>\n A new ice cream parlour could open on the top of Park Street, located in the empty shop in between the Oxfam bookshop and the Chicken Shop. Amorino, a premium gelato chain, is planning to open in the location in December. The unit was formerly home to a bakery and sandwich shop. A planning application<\/a> has been submitted to change the shopfront.<\/p>\n Writing on LinkedIn, owner Hubert Attali said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to announce the successful completion of our lease for the new Amorino shop in Bristol. This marks an exciting milestone for our team as we prepare to bring our artisanal gelato to the vibrant city of Bristol.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to share that we\u2019ll be opening our doors in early December, just in time for the festive season. We can\u2019t wait to share our passion for gelato with the Bristol community. A huge thank you to our partners, advisers, and team members who have worked tirelessly to make this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n Two new children\u2019s homes<\/strong><\/p>\n Two houses could be converted into new children\u2019s homes. One is on Hill Lawn in Brislington<\/a> and the other is in Hillfields. The Brislington house<\/a> is semi-detached and has five bedrooms, which would accommodate three teenagers as well as a room for staff to sleep in and an office. The teenagers have emotional and behavioural difficulties.<\/p>\n The Hillfields house<\/a> would accommodate four children aged between four and 17 years old, with two members of staff on shift at a time. The two applications were submitted by separate companies. There is a shortage of children\u2019s homes in Bristol, and rising demand as more children are placed into care due to family breakdowns and increasingly complex needs.<\/p>\n Planning documents said: \u201cThe children would be looked after on a long-term basis. In some cases this is a temporary home until the placing local authority finds a foster home, in other cases it would be until they are no longer \u2018a child\u2019 and cared for or if the care plan for the young person changes.\u201d<\/p>\n Building a house in a garden<\/strong><\/p>\n A two-storey semi-detached house could be built in a large garden<\/a> in Shirehampton. The house would be located on the corner of St Mary\u2019s Road and Ermine Way, near the M5 motorway, and have three bedrooms. The render, brickwork and roof would match the existing adjacent house.<\/p>\n
