BTF response: OBJECT

The application has been withdrawn while to Council reviews its various propopsed projects.

Following my recent emails, I think we need formally to object this application (whether or not we may) to try to preserve the status quo pending evidence to show that the original planning applications of 1962 and 1969 encompassed the proposed development site - there are a number of plans referred to both in the original planning applications and in title number BL119223 - Bedminster Down Common, Bridgwater Road, Bristol. Can these be produced, please?

We have submitted our objections to this application - https://bristoltreeforum.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/btf-objection-1.pdf

Dear Sirs,

We have been considering these proposed works and note that the plans to install drains and other structures are likely to impact upon the trees growing on this site. We note that you are relying on a consent which is over 50 years old.

Here is a plan we have superimposed on a Google Earth Image:

As far as we can see, no arboricultural report or biodiversity net gain evidence or calculation has been published. Are these available? If so, may we please have copies?

Given that the site is both an SNCI and on Green Belt, what steps have been taken to ensure that these proposals comply with the requirements of both the NPPF and Bristol's planning policies relating to green infrastructure?

We also note that it is planned to discharge the contents of the detention basin into Colliter's Brook. Has the Environment Agency been consulted about this?

Regards
