Bristol-area planning round: Little George Street student scheme advances on multiple reserved matters while neighbouring lists fill with home extensions and tree work

Planning registers for Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds all recorded new activity in the latest weekly lists, with Bristol City Council handling both a substantial redevelopment and a run of residential extensions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].

Bristol City Council’s weekly list included four separate reserved-matters applications for permission 24/03528/F at the Alide Hire Service site on Little George Street, covering noise mitigation, remediation, sustainable drainage and overheating measures [1][3][4][5]. The underlying permission is for demolition and redevelopment to provide purpose-built student accommodation, flexible affordable workspace and community units, new public realm and cycle parking [1][3][4][5].

Also in Bristol, the council logged a prior-approval notice for a single-storey rear extension at 32 Falmouth Road [14], a single-storey side and two-storey rear extension at 17 Bexley Road [17], a new two-storey house on land beside 7 Princes Place [13], and a single-storey front and rear extension at 72 Concorde Drive [2].

North Somerset Council’s list included tree work in Portishead [15] and Weston-super-Mare [6] and a garage conversion plus dormer extension in Clevedon [7].

South Gloucestershire Council’s list included single-storey extensions at 152 Pursey Drive, Bradley Stoke [8], The Shoe Box on Siston Lane [11], and 21 Marion Road, Hanham [12]; a garage-to-office conversion in Yate [10]; and a single-storey side extension and covered seating area to enlarge Hanham Common Pavilion [9].

The Cotswold Journal reported that Burford Golf Club’s plan to demolish part of the greenkeeper’s accommodation and extend the facility has been approved [16].

Taken together, the lists show the week’s planning caseload was dominated by small-scale residential alterations and tree management, while the Bristol student-housing scheme advanced through the technical reserved-matters stage [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][17].
