GREEN SPACE
​​​​​
We are asking the Council to take a long-term view of the impact on the Spike Island and Harbourside communities if planning permission continues to be granted to large-scale developments (several in construction, many others in the pipeline) without adequate investment in green spaces, flood risk, infrastructure, healthcare and other essential services.

BALTIC WHARF CARAVAN PARK
​
Comment on the latest planning amendment by 17th July 2025:
​​
Bristol City Council’s development company, Goram Homes, and its partner, Hills Residential, were granted planning permission for the proposed development at Baltic Wharf Caravan Park in April 2024, in the face of opposition from campaigners trying to save the trees and the last green space on the Harbour, and from Bristol citizens concerned about a range of issues.
​​​
Spike Island Community Association, along with over 600+ other individuals and organisations, filed an objection at the time, but we stepped back from campaigning against the development as, for the Councillors that voted to approve the planning application, the promise of affordable housing seemed to override all the irregularities and arguments against, including financial non-viability, questions around use of public funds, flood risk, loss of biodiversity and others.
