Are people interested in getting together to discuss this - possibly with a
view to putting in a local/partnership response to it?
If so, please let me know. I may be able to invite an officer down to explain
in more detail.

Dear Sir / Madam,
Bristol City Council wants to involve you in considering how land in Bristol
might be developed in the future and would like you to help us to identify land
or buildings that you think could be developed or put to a different use. This
is an important opportunity to suggest land and/or buildings where change could
take place.
The council is keen to ensure it has a full picture of local community issues
relating to land in your area and wants to hear from people and organizations
across the city, as well as from landowners and the development industry. Your
suggestions could be in any part of the city and the sites do not need to be
within your ownership or control.
We are currently developing a new suite of planning documents that will guide
development decisions in the city called the Bristol Development Framework
(BDF). Work is now beginning on the Site Allocations Development Plan
Document (DPD), which will form part of the BDF. The Site Allocations DPD and
accompanying Proposals Map will allocate land for development and designate
land for particular uses. The Site Allocations DPD will need to be consistent
with the overall spatial strategy set out in the emerging Core Strategy.
Sites submitted and their suggested uses will subsequently be assessed and
considered for inclusion in the Site Allocations DPD. A consultation draft of
the Site Allocations DPD is expected to be published in Summer 2009.
Potential development sites and their potential uses should be put forward for
consideration as part of the Call for Sites by 19th December 2008. At the same
time we are publishing a Sustainability Appraisal Scoping report for
consultation.
The accompanying guidance notes explain how you can respond to the call for
sites. Please read these before submitting suggestions. For each site we
would like you to complete a form and provide an attached map accurately
identifying the site boundary. The form can be downloaded from the Bristol
Development Framework website (www.bristol.gov.uk/bdf). Please feel free to
contact us on 0117 903 6727 if you would like any assistance completing the
response form or identifying sites on maps.
Completed forms and maps should be submitted to the following address before
19th December 2008:

This is an important opportunity for you to influence the future of your area
and we look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully

Hi,
I'm glad that Charlie has posted this on the forum.
Can I start the ball rolling by identifying North Street Green? This
small green space opposite the Hen and Chicken at the junction of Luckwell
Road and North Street is a possible site for housing or a car park. If you
think that's a good idea, now is your chance to say so. Some developer
probably will.
Personally, I think it should be kept as a green space and, indeed, improved
as a pleasant relaxing area for shoppers and other users. This will only
happen if enough people stick up for the small park. By the way, a group
called the North Street Green Action Group set itself up last week precisely
to defend this as a bit of green space. Good luck to them!!
What about the former cinema/bingo hall on North Street? Glue factory?
Community building? Flats? Helicopter landing site? Now's the time for
your two-pennyworth.
Cheers, Ben.
