- Bristol has approved 252 homes on the former Graphic Packaging site in Fishponds — a mix of 1–4 bed houses and flats (including 56 affordable units); construction starts this summer and first homes are expected in 2027.
- Councillors welcomed the scheme but flagged worries about increased traffic and pressure on GP services; the council secured a unit on-site for healthcare provision.
- Developer Dandara says the project will bring local construction jobs and apprenticeships, plant 150+ trees and new green space, add an orbital cycle link, and pay £430,000 toward transport improvements.
