Pumpkin bridge, Somerset homes and M4 solar farm show varied uses of land around Bristol
A pumpkin recreation of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, a 40-home approval in Somerset, and a Wiltshire solar farm together illustrate the range of land uses in the wider Bristol area.
Read together, three reports from around Bristol point to different uses of land beyond the city: a pumpkin-built version of the Clifton Suspension Bridge at a North Somerset zoo, a housing approval in Somerset, and a solar farm in Wiltshire. [1][2][3][4]
North Somerset Times and Weston Mercury reported that the Clifton Suspension Bridge has been recreated using thousands of pumpkins grown at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm near Bristol. [2][3]
Somerset County Gazette reported that Maple Wood Partnership has secured outline consent from Somerset Council to deliver up to 40 new homes on Maple Road in Curry Rivel. [1]
BBC News Wiltshire reported that a solar farm is to be built near the M4 after planners judged that powering thousands of homes with renewable energy was most important. [4]
