Bristol access-bridge application contrasts with Winchcombe's final-phase milestone

A planning application for a bridge at a large Bristol housing site and the final phase of a 100-home scheme in Winchcombe show housing projects at opposite ends of the delivery pipeline.

Bristol City Council's weekly planning list includes an application to approve an access bridge for the residential-led development on land west of Silbury Road, Bristol. The bridge is one of the details reserved under condition 29 of outline permission 21/03166/P, which already covers affordable homes, commercial and community floorspace, green spaces, footpaths, cycleways and new vehicle entrances [1].

The Cotswold Journal reported that Bromford's Merret Place in Winchcombe has entered its final phase. The 100 two- to five-bedroom homes, built off Delavale Road, make up the largest scheme the developer has carried out to date [2].

Taken together, the two items show large housing projects at different points in the delivery chain: one site is still securing the access details that must be approved before building, while the other is now finishing its last homes [1][2].
