Bristol Site

I doubt it JVB, all the plans are in place and I presume the developer will want to get going?

Is the Developer the city council?

I think it is a company owned by the Council. Not sure why that should be but perhaps Councils can't build properties to sell. Also it might be a way of sidestepping financial constraints placed on the Council?

But then there have been in the past ,several proposed sites in areas that members have wanted the club to be represented but NIBY oppositon and local planners have been to much "

To whomever made the original post: It doesn't take you through to the actual link to your planning application. I suggest you update this so that people can find the planning application and comment on it more easily. :)

I appear to be the first to have done so... which is a real shame.

Update re planning

We have just had another lovely stay at Baltic Wharf, probably our last.  Spent several hundred pounds in total (fees, fuel, theatre, eating) which Bristol clearly does not want any more. As far as I can tell Clanage Road is a non starter as the Secretary of Stae has overturned the Inspectors grant.  Such a shame.  Is there any further news?

No except the clean air zone in central Bristol area comes into force on the 28th and the Portishead railway which goes past the Clannage Rd site alongside the Avon got the go ahead! 

Does the Club have the opportunity to appeal? Before it went to the Secretary of State I read the reports which I thought were a bit thin on factual evidence regarding flooding and seem to completely ignore the experience the Club have in evacuating campsites in similar positions (York). Perhaps the Club need to employ a more robust Planning and Legal representative team? I suppose the truth is that elements of Bristol's Planning Department, clear from the initial objections,  did not want a campsite in that area and seem to have been putting obstacles in the way to make sure it didn't succeed. I assume that if a campsite can't be built there the Club will sell the land. It will be interesting see what they use the land for eventually?
