A developer has submitted a planning application for 432 new student flats on the same road where it is already building accommodation for 819 students.
Watkin Jones, which specialises in PBSA - purpose-built student accommodation - has finally submitted a planning application to Bristol City Council for the site on Malago Road in Bedminster, most recently used as a car wash and before the Covid pandemic, a location for Jasper Thompson’s Help Bristol’s Homeless shipping container project.
The developer wants to build three tower blocks of student units, on the land between the A38 Malago Road and the main south west railway line.
