Locals 'greatly' concerned about plans to build 52 student flats on site of decades-old business in Bedminster

Residents have said they are 'greatly' concerned about plans to build 52 student flats on the site of a decades-old business in Bedminster.

Paragon Developments has submitted a planning application to Bristol City Council, which proposes to build the flats on the site of Paramount Cars on West Street, a used-car dealership established in 1976. But several residents have raised objections to the proposal on the council's planning website.

Jeff Burridge, who lives on Churchlands Road, wrote: "The proposal concerns us greatly. The area is a quiet residential neighbourhood. Older members of the community alongside young families make up the majority of residents. Having an additional 50 students does not fit well in this area at all."
