Update #11
As things stand tonight - there are....
504 objections on the planning portal and just 4 comments in support.
The community has well and truly spoken. Massive thanks to everyone who has taken the time to tell the council what you think.
Objections have come in from Historic England, The Civic Society, the 20th Century Society, the Henleaze Society, all three local councillors - Geoff Gollop, Sharon Scott and Steve Smith, the Westbury Park Community Association, the Friends of the Downs and Avon Gorge (FoDAG), the Bristol Tree Forum, SEND charities, the Nature Conservation officer, and the Crime Reduction Unit. An impressive collection!
You still have a chance to add your voice to this growing number.
The deadline for comments is TOMORROW - Wednesday May 18th
Click here to go straight through to the council website and have your say.
The next step is for planning officers to read all those comments and recommend the plans for refusal or permission. We don’t know when that will be - but we will keep you informed.
Thank you to everyone in Westbury Park and across Bristol for their support - what a community!
