Planners have given the go-ahead for five houses squeezed into a tiny plot of land in Filton despite access concerns. Developers now have planning permission to build the four-bedroom houses on a plot in between Charlton Avenue and Charborough Road.
Local residents raised fears that large vehicles, like fire engines, might struggle to access the new houses, given the road leading to the plot will be small and narrow. Council road experts said fire engines could access the site, although parked cars “may be an issue”.
South Gloucestershire Council’s development management committee voted to grant planning permission on Thursday, February 16. The site was described as “overgrown and unused, save for casual storage of builders’ materials in small ramshackle outbuildings”.
