House extensions dominate South Gloucestershire planning list as larger schemes move through stages

South Gloucestershire Council’s latest planning weekly list includes eight applications for extensions or conversions to existing homes, with proposals in Alveston, Easter Compton, Chipping Sodbury, Bradley Stoke, Filton, Stoke Gifford and Thornbury [2][3][8][9][11][14][15][16]. A separate application would create two flats in a two-storey building at The Old Dairy, Patchway [4]. The list also contains permission-in-principle requests for one self-build house near Watery Lane and for nine dwellings at Winterbourne Down [1][5]. Condition-discharge applications were submitted for ten commercial units on North Road, Yate, ten homes at Stoke Gifford, and development on the former Filton Airfield site [6][10][7]. The council has also launched a smoking-cessation campaign, and the Gazette Series reported that overnight closures are planned for the A38 near the M5 [12][13].
