The battle over whether one of the last remaining bits of leftover farmland in South Bristol should be built on is hotting up with two different environmental organisations disagreeing on the damage 260 houses will do.
Avon Wildlife Trust has submitted a formal objection to the plans for a new housing estate on Brislington Meadows, which was farmland left over when the council estate at Broomhill and the Brislington Trading Estate was built around it more than 50 years ago.
But Natural England, the Government’s statutory body responsible for preserving nature sites, has said they don’t have any objections to the plan for new housing - which has been submitted by the Government’s own house-building body, Homes England.
