Campaigners and councillors celebrating a council decision to scale back house building plans on the Western Slopes in South Bristol have said it should also mean a plan for 157 new homes on the other half be thrown out too.
Bristol City Council announced yesterday it would not be building hundreds of new homes on the green spaces of the Western Slopes - after a report confirmed that the land was a vitally important ecological site.
But there is currently a planning application due to be decided soon on the other half of the Western Slopes, in which developers Lovell Homes want to build 157 new homes on the land.
