Forthcoming events in Stoke Bishop university residences

Proposals for Student Accommodation at Hiatt Baker Hall, Stoke Bishop

The University and its project team are drawing up proposals for providing around 450 new student bed spaces in purpose built accommodation alongside the present Hiatt Baker Hall in Stoke Bishop.  The scheme also involves bringing a new roadway in from Parry's Lane and creating a transport hub within the site to accommodate the student bus services on University land.

The University is committed to involving the local community as these proposals go through the pre-application planning process and is keen to hear the views of those who live and work nearby.

A first round of public consultation took place in November 2011.  Comments and feedback from the consultation together with input from the City Council and other key stakeholders has helped inform the next stage in the development of the proposals.  Further site investigations have also been carried out to support the ongoing design and planning work.

A second round of public consultation, in the form of a drop-in style exhibition, took place on Thursday 23 and Saturday 25 February in the Conference Centre at Wills Hall, Stoke Bishop.

The exhibition showed how the team responded to issues raised in the previous consultation and how the scheme has progressed.

Feedback from this second round of consultation, together with ongoing discussions with the City Council and other consultative groups, will inform the final scheme.  A planning application is then due to be submitted in April 2012.

The consultation information will is available to view online at www.bristol.ac.uk/estates/stoke-bishop
