Retrospective planning applications and linked site decisions feature in South Gloucestershire list

South Gloucestershire Council's planning weekly list includes several retrospective applications, where approval is being sought after changes have already been made. One entry seeks retrospective consent to change a detached garage in Crofters Walk, Bradley Stoke, into a one-bedroom studio AirBnB [4]. Another asks for retrospective approval to install a raised patio and a 2m-high privacy screen at a property in Hickory Lane, Almondsbury [5]. A separate entry records an appeal after a boundary wall was erected and land was raised at Wilcox Close, Kingswood, without planning permission [8].

The list also contains linked applications for the same sites. Two entries relate to discharging conditions attached to permission P26/00016/F for a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA), sports equipment and paths at the Jubilee Centre in Savages Wood Road, Bradley Stoke [2][3]. In Chipping Sodbury, two entries concern the building to the rear of 39 High Street: one covers external alterations and repointing of natural stone walls with lime-based mortar under permission P26/00290/LB [10], while the other covers installing a dormer and new windows and doors to convert an ancillary building into a two-bedroom dwelling [11].

Other entries include a proposal to build two engine-test-bed buildings at the Rolls Royce site on Gloucester Road North, Filton [9], and a plan to convert Pinnacle House on Gloucester Road, Patchway, from a children's nursery into seven one-bedroom sheltered-housing apartments [7]. The list also includes applications to fell protected trees in Almondsbury Conservation Area [6] and at The Mew, Alveston Hill, Thornbury, where the tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order [12].

Separately, the Gazette Series reported that pupils across South Gloucestershire received their GCSE results [1].
