Plans to build almost 200 homes on the former Bristol Zoo site have been approved by councillors.
Many people objected to the plans to build the homes at Bristol Zoo, which closed last year. But Bristol City Council members approved the proposed scheme yesterday (April 26). Critics opposing the scheme cited the loss of many trees and biodiversity, the impact on the architectural heritage of the Victorian buildings, and an increase in car traffic.
The development will see 196 new homes built on the 12 acre Clifton site. The developers promised that 20% of these homes will be converted into affordable housing.
