Supermarket chain Iceland has objected ‘in the strongest possible’ terms to the huge plans to demolish a South Bristol shopping centre and build 850 flats in its place.
If the controversial plans to level the entire Broadwalk Shopping Centre site and build a new, mainly residential development called ‘Redcatch Quarter’ in Knowle are approved, Iceland said its store would close and leave no supermarket in the area.
Iceland’s national bosses have hired chartered town planners Depol to write a detailed, seven-page letter of objection that lists many reasons on why it thinks council planners at City Hall should turn down the application, including many that go further than just the loss of retail provision in the area and the Iceland store itself.
