Flooding fears could scupper plans to build 166 apartments at Bristol's harbourside on the site of a caravan park. A council-owned developer is planning to build the flats on the site of the Baltic Wharf Caravan and Motorhome Club, next to the Cottage Inn pub.
Bristol City Council’s development control committee is expected to decide soon on whether or not to grant planning permission for the plans, put forward by council-owned developer Goram Homes and house builder Hill. But the high risk of flooding could prove a key obstacle.
The planned 166 apartments would be spread over six blocks, from four to six storeys tall. The apartments will mostly have two bedrooms, while some will have one or three bedrooms. Plans to develop the site stretch back decades, but could soon go ahead.
