Bungalows planned in south Bristol have been refused permission due to concerns over the impact on flooding and ecology.
Local property mogul Alex Fry applied for planning permission to build five bungalows off Marksbury Road. But Bristol City Council’s development control committee rejected her application after fears about the increased risk of flooding from the nearby River Malago.
Plans included demolishing the house at 149a Marksbury Road to make way for a two-metre footpath to the site. The bungalows would have been built on a small plot of land previously home to green habitats and nature, but which was cleared to a wasteland in 2019.
