Behind the colourful frontage of Stokes Croft is a large, vacant, brownfield site. On one side is the Carriageworks. On the other is Hepburn Road, dubbed ‘Crack Alley’ in the BBC documentary Drugsland because of its well-known, drug-related problems.
There is now a real opportunity to transform this underutilised, rundown and – in parts – hostile environment into a safe, attractive place for local people.
On this website we set out our proposals for a highly-sustainable, mixed-use, low-rise redevelopment that would bring new homes, workshops ideal for start-up businesses, as well as student homes: a scheme which would respect and enhance what makes Stokes Croft such a unique place.
Virtual consultation
Because of COVID restrictions, we are simply unable to hold any public events to explain our proposals. However, we really want to hear what you think of our plans.
We have already sought the views of some of your representatives, community groups, and Bristol City Council officers. This feedback has already shaped our proposals.
And now we want to hear what you think about our plans before we finalise and submit our planning application.
