A Bristol developer has said his plans to build a block of student flats in the heart of Bedminster could actually help to reduce the impact of students moving into the neighbourhood.
David Fitter is the director of Paragon Developments, the company behind plans to demolish a decades-old business on West Street to build a three-storey block of flats for 50 students.
He told Bristol Live that the plans could help the local area by reducing the number of students living in Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs) on residential streets.
