A landmark former community building in South Bristol could be converted into seven apartments, after the charity that owned it had to turn down offers to keep it for community use, and sold it to a property developer instead.
A planning application to turn the red brick Salvation Army building on Dean Lane in Bedminster into new homes has been submitted to council planners, but the prospective new owners have already begun clearing out the inside of the building.
And the application has revealed the Salvation Army’s attempts to sell its hall in Dean Lane were hit by the covid pandemic, with the first deal with a developer and a second deal with an education organisation both falling through because of the uncertain climate caused by coronavirus.
