HCCA Response to Western Harbour Consultation March 2025
In our opinion the Western Harbour Draft Masterplan does not offer a coherent plan for
regeneration of the area. In seeking to place 750-1200 new homes within the “red line” it fails
to recognise the high population density of the surrounding areas and the impact such
development may have.
We estimate that the current masterplan would raise the population
of our area by 40-50%, while not offering a coherent plan for services and amenities for such
a population uplift in an area which is already poorly served.
We consider that the scale of the proposed buildings in the Draft Masterplan is inappropriate for the area. The Draft Masterplan itself acknowledges the iconic status of the Bond
Warehouses yet seeks to build at a scale that will drastically reduce Bristol’s views of these
buildings. Read more

Friends of the Hotwells Piazza
We are setting up a 'Friends' group to meet for gardening days, plan local events and share ideas and aspirations for this community space. The Friends group might also like to join in conversations about longer term developments that the council are consulting on. Follow this link to receive regular news and invitations.
We're welcoming any locals but if you have friends or family you think might be interested they are welcome. Our first event is Sunday 19th May 12-4pm opposite the Rose of Denmark pub. We'll be filling our new planters and doing some general gardening and chatting. Cake provided!
Please bring something to drink as we have no water onsite
Contact [email protected] if you have any questions
Friends of Hotwells Piazza social media pages are being created, but in the meantime you can like Art under the Flyover on Facebook or visit http://artundertheflyover.com
