A draft vision to transform the area around the Cumberland Basin in Bristol has been released, proposing that half of all new housing there will be designated as 'affordable'.
The plans for Western Harbour also include a conversion of a bonded warehouse to a mixed-use cultural hub serving the whole city. Bristol City Council has also now confirmed that Riverside Garden Centre, which feared Western Harbour would force its closure, will be accommodated for in the amended plan.
Community feedback has inspired the vision to build on the area's heritage and will guide the master planning process later in 2022, according to the council. Both the garden centre and pump track will be worked into the plan.
