Plans for hundreds of new apartments in St Pauls are set for approval this week near the M32 motorway. Developers are hoping to get planning permission to build 358 flats on an empty vacant plot around Dove Lane.
Places for People, the developers, would build the apartments on the site of an old paper factory, which was demolished several years ago. Bristol City Council’s development control B committee has been recommended to grant permission at a meeting on Wednesday, October 26.
Only one in five apartments would be classed as affordable. This includes 54 social rented flats and 18 ‘first homes’, which are discounted to first-time buyers. The flats could be connected to the city’s district heat network, and solar panels would be installed on the roofs.
