Introduction to the proposals

The PG Group's proposal is to demolish the current industrial building and, in its place, to design and build a scheme that delivers affordable housing in the form:

• 224 apartments

• A minmimum 20% affordable units

• A mix of 1 bed, 2 bed and 3 bed residential accommodation - NOT STUDENT ACCOMMODATION

• 8-10 parking spaces with electric charge points

• Provision of Electric car club spaces

• Residents cycle parking

• Provision of 5 electric cycles for residents use

The scheme is part the way through the design process and at a point where your input is encouraged. Your comments and feedback will help guide the development of a scheme through to a detailed planning application. This will be submitted to Bristol City Council later this year.

What will you be commenting on

• There are two options for the design and layout of the site Option 1 and Option 2 

• Each option has two separate buildings, Building A and Building B. 

• On both schemes Building A is designed as a Courtyard Building and open at one end. 

• On both schemes Building B is a Block and addresses the view from Malago Road. 

• Both designs meet the site constraints and make the most of the design opportunities presented. 

• Fingers and Views - The upper levels of Building A permits views across the site, as does (at the lower levels) the gap
  between Buildings A and B. We have called these fingers and views. 

• Sunlight Entering the Courtyard - At the upper levels, the main building steps down to maximise opportunities for
  sunlight/daylight entering the courtyard, the garden, and the apartment windows. 

• Linked Buildings - Internally, the Courtyard Building (A) is divided into smaller clusters, each with it’s own entrance and
  core. Entrances are located off either the arrival space or the courtyard garden. The two-cycle stores are located close to
  the building entrances.
