A plan to convert a care home into emergency accommodation for homeless people ‘degrades human dignity’ because the developers want to cram 27 people into what was a care home for 11 residents.
That’s the view of a local councillor, who has ‘called in’ the planning application after fierce opposition from neighbours to the plan.
The applicants, a private company called Connolly & Callaghan, are Bristol’s biggest providers of emergency accommodation, and say they are only trying to meet the need for emergency and temporary accommodation in the city.
