Plans to transform an historic aircraft hangar into a new community centre on Bristol’s northern edge have been approved.
South Gloucestershire Council has given the green light to YTL Developments to transform the grade II-listed ‘Hangar 16U’ building - which housed Spitfires and Hawker Hurricane fighter aircraft for the Royal Air Force during the Second World War - into a new facility comprising a public library, gym and café.
The proposals are part of the major Brabazon development project, a huge new neighbourhood around the site of the former Filton Airfield – the birthplace of Concorde.
