A new development of flats in Horfield will take away “green space where children play” for car parking. Developers are planning to build six two-bedroom flats on Tilling Road, near Southmead Hospital.
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.
Councillor Philippa Hulme, representing Horfield, said: “We’ve had a large number of objections to the proposed development, and many others have told me informally of their concerns. The development would involve removing 10 trees and destroying some much loved grassland where children play.
