Bristol Site

According to the local paper numerous roads in Bristol including Clanage road where the proposed site would be has got somewhere on its length a 20mph limit which is being reviewed

Ta for that. I wuz wondering.

Many thanks ET, I was hoping you would come on to shed so professional light on the matter. From what you say it is difficult to see what the Transport Development body is complaining about. The distances quoted in the Club's submission are 120m to the left and 142m to the right.

The site is next to the Bedminster Cricket ground which is also used for over flow parking when there's a football match on at the nearby stadium. There will be times when access to the site is impinged, eg local roads closed for the Balloon Fiesta etc apart from that it's a typical city area with a steady flow of traffic during the day but quieter at night.

To me many of the documents by officials objecting to the campsite are somewhat spurious. They mention tidal flooding which is a one in 200 year event! They mention increased traffic although the events mentioned by Brue above far outnumber any increase from the building of the campsite. The Senior Conservation Architect mentions the visual harm the site would cause. No house owner will be impacted as there are none. Mention is made of the impact on the Clifton area and the Suspension Bridge of a site " Will be affected by the clutter of caravans" What he fails to mention is that where it might be visible you would need a powerful pair of binoculars to see that clutter. It seems to me that the Council don't actually want a campsite anywhere near the City!!! Perhaps the Club need a decent Planning Consultant who would challenge the objections?

Entirely agree David which is why I called them jobsworths. The only one that made some sense was the Transport Delveloment Management but even that could be challenged.
