Bristol-area planning lists mix 39-home amendment, broadband ‘non-applications’ and habitat checks

North Somerset Council’s planning weekly list includes a non-material amendment to a scheme for 39 dwellings with associated roads and parking at the Police Maintenance Depot, Stuart Road, Weston-super-Mare [1]. The same list includes two Electronic Communications Code notifications: a 10m light wooden pole outside 16 Biddisham Close in Nailsea and a fibre cabinet south of 9 Mendip Road on Sandford Road in Weston-super-Mare [2][3]. Both entries state that they are not planning applications [2][3]. Another North Somerset entry is an application under Regulation 77 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 to determine whether prior approval for converting an agricultural barn south of Clevedon Road, Weston-in Gordano, into one dwelling is likely to have a significant effect on a European site [4]. Bristol City Council’s planning applications weekly list includes a proposal to reduce the lateral spread of an ash tree at 4 Belvedere Road by 1.5 metres [5]. The same weekly lists therefore cover housing amendments, broadband infrastructure, habitat regulations checks and tree maintenance.
