New flats planned for Gloucester Road in Bishopston have sparked fears of increased parking problems in the area. Seventeen apartments are set to get the green light despite neighbours raising concerns about the lack of car parking spaces provided on the site.
Developers are applying for planning permission to convert a Methodist chapel, demolishing part of the building and constructing the new apartments. The chapel, on 102 Gloucester Road, lies next to Bishopston Library on the corner with Berkeley Road.
Bristol City Council’s development control B committee will vote next Wednesday (May 10) on whether to grant permission for the scheme. Many residents have objected to the plans, but planning officers are recommending that councillors give their approval.
