Bristol Zoo redevelopment plans 'set for green light' next week

Plans to build hundreds of new homes on the former Bristol Zoo Gardens site look set to receive planning permission next week.

Under the proposals 196 new homes could be built at the Clifton site, with the former zoo entrance buildings converted into a conservation hub and cafe, and much of the gardens turned into a free public park. According to BristolLive, these are part of the key report by officers at City Hall being recommended for planning permission.

Bristol Zoological Society is looking to use money raised from the development to help fund the expansion of its 136-acre conservation site, Wild Place Project, on the edge of the city.
