Responding to feedback
How our proposals have changed
FORE, Amicala, and First Base have been engaging residents, council officers, community organisations, and other stakeholders since the summer.
This has included:
One-to-one meetings with immediate neighbours
Focused community workshops which showcased the initial masterplan. Feedback from these two community workshop events is available to view in further detail on this website
A walkaround event for the community to visit the St Christopher’s site and meet members of the team
Pre-application discussions with Bristol CIty Council, City Design Group and Design Review Panel
The team has sought to respond positively to the issues raised.
How we have responded to feedback
Removed the three-storey building from the boundary with properties along Bayswater Avenue, replacing this with a series of smaller, two-storey cottages
Reduced the footprint of ‘Villa A’, ensuring that the amenity and privacy of properties on Royal Albert Road is respected
Ensured that the tallest element of the proposals is located in the centre of the site (Villa B), away from the site boundary and neighbouring properties
Re-oriented ‘Villa C’, pulling this back away from the site boundary and ensuring that it is now 43 metres from neighbouring properties on the Glen
Joined two of the proposed buildings to form ‘Villa D’, which has allowed us to pull this away from the site boundary and create a stronger buffer between this building and existing properties on the Glen
