Bristol Civic Society broadly welcomed the latest proposals for this site and considered them to be a big improvement on the earlier scheme which was shown to us. We had some concerns and suggestions but generally liked the scale, design and type of houses proposed.
The height of the proposed houses was largely sympathetic to neighbouring buildings and the character would fit in well. We raised one or two issues which, we felt, could improve the proposal. In particular, we felt that there would be a danger of rat running along the new streets unless through movement of car traffic were prevented. We also suggested that the layout could be revisited to produce a much more appealing and greener environment.
