Concerns have been raised over the future of a much-loved Bristol city centre pub garden after revised plans to redevelop a building next door were revealed. Developers Boutlbee Brooks, which owns both Canningford House and The Cornubia pub in Redcliffe, want to completely transform the 1970s office building.
The scheme includes plans to reinstate a mediaeval walkway called Long Row, which would link Victoria Street and Temple Street, and would cut through the pub’s garden next door. Under the plans initially shared in November, the outside area of the pub would have been reduced to around four tables and the toilets attached to the back of the venue would have been opened to the public.
But following criticism of the original scheme from pubgoers, developers went back to the drawing board and revised the plans. During a drop-in session on Wednesday (June 7) developers revealed the updated proposals, which would see the toilets remain for the sole use of patrons of the pub, with access running through the building only.
