Flat development will take away ‘green space where children play’ for car parking

KS Developments Group was given planning permission by Bristol City Council’s development control committee on Wednesday, May 18. However, the committee heard concerns about how 10 trees would be chopped down and a green lawn where children play would be concreted over for parking spaces.
