Hundreds of Flats Proposed in St Pauls and Bedminster Under Latest Bristol Planning Applications

Bristol: Hundreds of new flats might pop up in St Pauls and Bedminster. Exciting, right? The plans are still in the early stages, but they could bring a lot of change.

In St Pauls, there’s talk of 280 homes and 420 student beds on Dove Lane. This area used to house the English Corrugated Paper Company, but it’s been empty for years. Godwin Developments already has permission for 358 homes there, so this could be a big expansion.

Over in Bedminster, a huge 19-storey tower for students is on the table. It would have 420 student beds and 460 homes on Princess Street. The developers are still in the early planning phase, but they’ve been chatting with locals about it.

There’s also a plan for a seven-storey block of flats in Bedminster. Godwin Developments wants to replace an old warehouse with 88 new flats. They say it’ll be mostly car-free, but parking is already tough in that area.

Lastly, a new digital advertising screen might replace an old billboard in Eastville. It’ll change its display every ten seconds, making it more efficient. Lots happening in Bristol, that’s for sure!
