A public consultation has been launched to help determine the future of a large industrial area in central Fishponds known as 'Atlas Place.' Ahead of detailed designs for the site's redevelopment, the local community has been invited to share views on the early-stage proposals that could see the construction of over 2,500 dwellings along with commercial and open space and improved transport links.
Initial plans for the site on Goodneston Road and Filwood Road have been submitted for public review following discussions by three major occupying businesses and landowners with Bristol City Council. The community is encouraged to get involved by visiting the Atlas Place website, where they can fill out a feedback form and leave comments on an interactive map that lists the proposals for each of the three project zones.
Atlas Place is home to several industrial and warehouse-based businesses, employing around 400 people, the largest being Graphic Packaging International (GPI). With many of these companies seeking to relocate in the coming years, GPI came together with its neighbours Castel Ltd and Central Fishponds Ltd in October 2022 to discuss how the area could be developed.
