Every week dozens are validated by the local authority and we have selected some of the more interesting proposals.
All planning applications submitted to the council have to be validated and are available for inspection by the public. Anyone is also allowed to submit comments about the applications — whether in support or objection.
The majority of applications are decided by planning officers at the council under delegated powers. However, some will go before elected councillors who sit on planning committees. No dates have been set for when the planning applications below will be determined. They can be viewed by going to the planning portal on Bristol City Council’s website.

126 new homes near Cribbs Causeway
Taylor Wimpey, one of the major house builders, has applied for permission to build 126 new homes west of Cribbs Causeway, off Berwick Drive behind a rugby ground. The plans form part of the Berwick Green development, which will include up to 1,000 new homes, with a food shop, primary school, GP surgery, dentist and community centre.
The site lies just outside Bristol’s borders, and so the planning application will be processed by South Gloucestershire Council. However, Bristol City Council has still been asked to comment on the plans. View the planning application here.
Two-storey extension to house in Henbury
A homeowner is applying to build a two-storey extension to a house in Henbury. The house on Tormarton Crescent has three bedrooms on the first floor, but this would be extended to include six bedrooms, with a smaller bathroom than currently. Neighbours living nearby have been notified of the plans. View the planning application here.

A large beech tree in Stoke Bishop will be pruned. Its branches extend over the road and a neighbour’s driveway, as well as interfering with street lighting. A dead cherry tree will also be removed. Both trees are on Stoke Hill, near the corner with Druid Road. View the planning application here.
