The Government’s housing agency has formally submitted plans for 260 new homes on land the Mayor of Bristol declared should never be built on.
And Homes England has put in the finalised plans for a big new housing estate on Brislington Meadows saying that, despite what the Mayor declared 20 days before last year’s election, it is still ‘Bristol City Council planning policy to build homes on this site’.
The formal planning application has not yet been published on the city council’s website, but Homes England’s scheme is the first formal opening in what is set to be a battle between the Government and City Hall over the area of land that formed a key part of last year’s local council and mayoral election.
