Update

Three options were presented for the development – minimum density development, medium density development and maximum density development. The objectives and design aspirations also form part of the presentation.

Why We Are Consulting

Architects FAT say "For our ideas to work, it is important that they reflect local people's ideas."

FAT lead the team engaged by Bristol City Council and its partners, the Homes & Communities Agency and Knightstone Housing Association, to "transform a landmark site which has suffered from a lack of investment and opportunity" with improved housing and local amenities.
