Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/print/informed-representation/4652 09/02/2015 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 City of Bristol Personal Details: Name: Rodney Sampson E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing about the boundary changes proposed by your Commission for the Westbury-on-Trym ward in north Bristol. While appreciating that change is needed in order to maintain a balance in the ratio of voters to councillors across the wards of Bristol, I do not feel that the proposals of your Commission are suitable. Westbury-on-Trym is a historic village going back many centuries and with a continued strong sense of community. Accordingly, the suggestion that it should be split into two halves attached to different wards seems highly inappropriate. In response to the Commission’s proposal, a meeting was convened by the Westbury-on-Trym Society and the outcome of this was a new proposal whereby Westbury-on- Trym should form a new ward with the adjacent ward of Henleaze, and in place of the current four councillors the new ward would have just three. It may be added that this proposal has also received the approval of the committee of the Henleaze Society. Through the adoption by the Commission of this proposed merger, the present integrity of Westbury-on-Trym would be preserved and the desired overall reduction of one councillor would be duly and satisfactorily achieved. In the light of this, I would urge the Commission to reconsider its original proposal and to look with favour on the alternative which the Westbury-on-Trym Society has formulated together with its counterpart in Henleaze.

To retain the full identity of Westbury-on-Trym village I propose that the new Westbury-on-Trym ward and the new Henlease wards are combined (with three councillors).

These are shared by our immediate neighbours who all live opposite the lake. 1. The Lake area has a much closer affinity with both Henleaze and Westbury than with Southmead which is much more to the North and West It would be inappropriate to allocate the area to the Southmead ward. Our preference would be to retain it in the Westbury ward, or allocate it to the Henleaze ward. 2. We bought our houses with particular addresses and post codes and have no wish to see these change. Your proposed changes will adversely affect the value of our houses. 3. Will the name of the Lake have to change if your proposals are adopted. Again this would be inappropriate and unnecessary. The much loved local facility has been known as Henleaze Lake for many years. We hope you will take these concerns on board which are shared by the wider community, before reaching any final decisions.

Removing the historic village centre from the eponymous ward is unjustifiable. It appears that the historic churches, war memorial, public houses, post office and everything that gives Westbury-on- Trym its sense of identity will be moved to Henleaze ward. The main artery of Falcondale Road will no longer unite the ward by going through it but will become an artificial misplaced boundary dividing an established community. These local factors may not be relevant to the planners, who clearly place demographics above everything else, but the residents of Westbury-on-Trym baulk at this idea. Neither would I support any further attempts to tinker with population figures by excluding any other areas from the current ward in order to make numbers appear balanced on a spreadsheet. The residents of Westbury-on-Trym have a strong affinity with the locality and are unswerving in their support for the area and each other.

  • Bristol Urban Potential Assessment: February 2018
    West of England Joint Spatial Plan Bristol Local Plan Review Urban Potential Assessment Published February 2018 Photo: Kendall Kingscott Ltd. i Bristol Urban Potential Assessment Published February 2018 Summary Bristol has experienced sustained population growth since 2004 and has seen a high number of new homes completed over the same period. The vast majority of new homes delivered over this period have been on brownfield land, with only a small proportion being built on greenfield sites. Bristol City Council has carried out a thorough urban potential assessment which has established the capacity of the urban area to deliver around a further 12,400 homes by 2036 on sites of ten or more dwellings. As well as a general citywide search for brownfield development potential, focused studies have been carried out of the potential from other sources of land, including safeguarded industrial land, undeveloped land, the conversion or redevelopment of city centre offices and higher density forms of development on existing Bristol Local Plan site allocations. The assessment was carried out over the period June 2015 to March 2016. Based on consistent density assumptions and considered constraints analysis, Bristol’s estimated capacity to accommodate new homes over the period to 2036 on sites of ten or more dwellings, above and beyond those already planned and forecast, is as follows: Source Approx potential homes Main citywide site search 6,150 Potential from underused industrial land 1,500 Potential from undeveloped land 1,000 Potential from city centre office sites 2,150 Uplift of site allocations 1,600 Total 12,400 In addition to the baseline capacity set out above, a number of locations have been identified in which land with potential for new homes is highly clustered, where interventions could help to bring forward a considerable additional supply of new homes.

Everyone working for TSB is given 8 hours a year to get involved in their local area, to help their local community. Partners from Keypoint, Bradley Stoke dedicated their 60 hours to the local Youth Centre in Lawrence Weston. The youth centre is central to local commu- nity support work being carried out its important that this building looks and feels welcoming, ap- proachable and safe. We managed to paint the en- tire front of the building including frames in a vi- brant blue. This really lifted the look of the centre and will help in making all members of the commu- nity feel welcomed. It is brilliant to know that the time we’ve spent with Ambition Lawrence Weston has been useful and supported the charity in making improvements. Growing up in Shirehampton I am no stranger to the different community issues both are- as face. I am just glad to of been able to help a charity that is trying so hard to support all members of the community and make a difference. I would recommend anyone to get in touch with Mark at Ambition Lawrence Weston and volunteer to help the charity in any way you can.
