Bristol Site

There are quite a few comments on the planning application from members. It's entirely up to them if they want to comment, it's good to see there is support out there. In some ways the numbers staying on Baltic Wharf over the years should also support the application, I see the SS GT Britain notes they have enjoyed visits from many CAMC visitors and supports the provision of a new site. 

I note that there is also a change of use application for the children's nursery, near the proposed site alongside the cricket ground. So two applications close together in the same area.

ET there is no point in making it easy for anyone.

DK I too thought hard over whether to go public but given our views are not going to count for a great deal, I decided an email was my preferred option stating that I wished to withhold my full name and address. If that is unacceptable and it is not taken into any account. so be it but I have not received a reply that this will be so. Knowing how little account they will take of public opinion it won't matter. They may well also consider wisiting members comments biased.

Completely right about outsiders commenting whichever method is used as they probably won't count for much except in showing the demand for such a site which might influence the lay people of the Planning Committee. The route to overturning the objections is the have a good planning consultant and a specialist Barrister if it were to go to the Inspector. I hope the Club has such a person.

Well members  have until the 27th July to make comments and judgement is scheduled to be made before 18th August but that can always slip.

 I have had  a reply from BCC to my thoughts on the planning application

If it fails then one would think that as the government want to support the struggling service economies an appeal might prove successful

The CityKamp website shows what sort of campsites other cities have. Bristol deserves better than this mean little proposal.

As usual it seems anything ,other than this very cramped island again

They have accepted mine as well. So you can submit your views by emai withholding your full name and address.

Looks like the determination has not yet been made in spite of the deadline being passed. Folk are still posting comments about the application. I don't expect the Club to comment but anybody local got any further information? Perhaps the delay is good news?
