Around 220 new homes are planned on the site of a building supplies store that moved out of Bedminster last year.
The Selco building supplies building, next to Lidl off Sheene Road, has been bought by The PG Group, the development firm behind the controversial Carriageworks redevelopment on Stokes Croft.
The PG Group said the project to demolish the old warehouse store, next to the railway bridge in the heart of Bedminster, is its biggest project to date.
