Bristol City Council has submitted a planning application for a residential development on land bounded by Bonnington Walk, Landseer Avenue and a nearby railway line.

The housing will include 30 percent affordable homes is likely to include semi-detached houses, short terraces and small apartment blocks around tree-lined streets with a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bed homes.  Parking will be a combination of on and off street, with small parking courtyards provided for the apartments. It is anticipated that houses will face the new open spaces and the cycle route, providing overlooking and security throughout the day and night.

The council is now seeking comments on the early design proposals. Feedback from the local community and other stakeholders will help to inform the ongoing design process and arrive at a preferred option.
