Decision delayed

A THIRTEEN-storey tower block could be built as part of a massive redevelopment scheme for Fishponds.

Several other blocks of more than eight storeys appear on plans published by developer Central Fishponds Ltd for the site of current industrial buildings Filwood House and Verona House.

The blocks would accommodate 780 flats, with another 120 houses also proposed for the site, which lies between the Bristol & Bath Railway Path, Filwood Road and Forest Road, opposite the Fishponds Royal Mail delivery office.

It currently includes two landmark chimneys, said to be nesting places for peregrine falcons, which would be demolished if the scheme goes ahead. Turn to page 3
