Campaigners have said the “fight starts now” to overturn planning permission for almost 200 homes on the Bristol Zoo site in Clifton. They pledged to keep fighting against the controversial scheme and are considering taking legal action against the recent decision.
Bristol City Council’s development control A committee granted permission for 196 homes on the former Bristol Zoo Gardens site on Wednesday, April 26. Their decision was welcomed by the mayor but criticised by many who oppose the new development.
The Bristol Zoological Society, which owns the site, now has permission to begin construction on the gardens — although this isn't expected to start until 2025. The charity said the development would help pay for its new location near Cribbs Causeway.
