Workshops to be demolished for housing
Workshops in Bishopston are to be replaced by a development of town houses under plans approved by Bristol City Council. The eight workspaces at Fenton Court, just off Bishop Road, are set to be demolished to make way for a terrace of four three-storey homes.
Each house will have its own off-street parking space. Windows to the side of the end properties will have to be glazed to prevent overlooking on existing homes. The development replaces plans for seven flats which were approved earlier this year.
A single-storey wing to the north of the site is not included in the proposals (see photo above) but will form part of a separate application for conversion into homes.
The planning application was made on behalf of Messrs Hughes & Hoyle. Land registry documents indicate that a Trowbridge-based company named Fortis Fenton Road Limited may be acquiring the site following the grant of planning consent.
