Success for the University of Bristol
Thursday 30th April, 2009
Jeremy Bladon and Julie Laming have secured planning permission, Conservation Area consent for demolition and two listed building consents for the development of £80 million-worth of new research and teaching accommodation for the University of Bristol's Departments of Biological Sciences and Mathematics. The decision to grant planning, Conservation Area consents and listed building consents, subject to completion of necessary conditions and agreements, was made at Bristol City Council's Development Control Committee meeting on 8 April 2009.
The new development will be built on part of the old Children's Hospital site on the corner of St Michael's Hill and Tyndall Avenue. It consists of two striking new buildings as well as improvements to the public realm, including a new route into Royal Fort Garden from St Michael's Hill. The circular drum-shaped Mathematics department will be located within a new landscaped courtyard, adjacent to the listed H H Wills Physics Building, while the new Biological Sciences accommodation will be a dramatic five-bay building fronting St Michael's Hill.
CSJ Planning worked with Sheppard Robson Architects, Nicholas Pearson Associates, Capita Symonds Ltd and the University's Estates Department in order to bring the applications to fruition.
