A planning application which will transform the Bristol Zoo site has been submitted to the city council. The zoo will close on September 3, 2022 and move to a new location at the Wild Place Project in South Gloucestershire.
And a planning application to redevelop the Clifton site has finally been prepared by Bristol Zoological Society. Under the plans, the gardens would be accessible to the public for free for the first time since the site opened to the public in 1836.
Much of the gardens will remain unchanged, although a new play area will be created. A new café and exhibition space will be created in the zoo entrance building and cultural, educational and community events will be held there.
