Residents in South Bristol fighting plans to build 260 new homes on wildlife-rich meadows have begun a campaign urging Communities Secretary Michael Gove to U-turn on the plans.
Local councillors and residents have been joined by campaigners from across the country, after the future of the Brislington Meadows featured on Channel 4 News, following a decision by a Government planning inspector to give permission for the new homes development.
The Government’s own land and development agency Homes England were awarded planning permission on appeal last month, despite the objections of hundreds of local residents, Avon Wildlife Trust, Bristol City Council and the city’s mayor, Marvin Rees.
