A group of residents are fighting against plans to build new homes on a green space in South Bristol that one local councillor has labelled a 'drama'.
The small strip of land in the Bedminster area is currently unused and is surrounded by existing properties along Marksbury Road, Dawlish Road, Lynford Walk and Brixham Road. The proposals submitted to Bristol City Council in February 2021 include the demolition of a property on Marksbury Road to make way for five new single-storey, flat-roofed homes in 2024sqm space.
This scheme proposes a detached three-bedroom, four-person dwelling and two pairs of semi-detached two-bed, three-person dwellings. Green roofs are proposed, with water butts, and hedgerow planting to the boundaries, supplemented with trees, although no off-road parking would be provided.
