Three of the biggest planning applications that will change the face of Bristol from Clifton to Knowle look set to be decided on the same day in a month’s time.
The plans to build flats on the site of the Bristol Zoo Gardens in Clifton, to demolish the Broad Walk Shopping Centre in Knowle and replace it with up to 850 flats, and the plan to build 166 flats on the current site of the Caravan Club park at Baltic Wharf on the Floating Harbour are all set to be decided on March 15.
All three have met fierce resistance from local residents, environmental campaigners and opposition councillors, but all three look set to be recommended for permission by council planning officers, with councillors having the final say.
