Bristol-area projects file reserved-matters details as construction consultancy opens city base

A batch of recent planning applications filed with Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council all seek approval of details reserved by conditions on earlier planning permissions, suggesting several local schemes are moving into detailed design rather than applying for new outline consent.

Bristol City Council’s weekly list includes three such applications for the redevelopment of the Alide Hire Service site on Little George Street, under permission 24/03528/F, covering noise mitigation [1], a sustainable drainage system [2] and overheating mitigation [3].

The same list includes three further reserved-matters applications for permission 25/15465/F at the Avonmouth Hub, Royal Edward Dock, for the permanent retention of an existing pre-cast concrete production building and associated temporary development. The applications cover an unexploded ordnance condition [5], development set-back [6] and an employment and skills plan for the construction phase [7].

South Gloucestershire Council’s weekly list records a garage-to-office conversion at 185 Dowsell Way, Yate [4].

Separately, Bdaily South West reported that construction and real estate consultancy Drees & Sommer UK has opened a permanent Bristol office at Queen Square with Runway East, and that bosses said the move provides a permanent home for its growing Bristol team [8].
