Bristol neighbourhood's last pub could be restored with new homes built alongside it
Developers propose restoring Bristol's last pub, adding new homes alongside.
A new planning application has been submitted for the Giant Goram in Lawrence Weston, which closed down in 2019.
The proposal was submitted in February and proposes refurbishing, renovating and partially demolishing the ground floor of the outbuilding to use it as a pub, converting the upper floor into two flats, and erecting seven new dwelling in the area, comprising of three houses and four flats.
The plan would also see the provision of an on-site care park and bicycle store.
The planning application is currently pending consideration.
Planning permission to knock down the Giant Goram was previously refused by Bristol City Council in 2024, when developers proposed the construction of eight new and a ‘micropub’, due to councillors and local residents believing the ‘micropub’ would not meet the needs of the community and the demolition would contradict the pub’s protected status which was given in 2018.
