Hi CAG
My only concern with this is that I think all blocks of flats should have two stairwells even if they can’t have two lifts. This is a safety issue.
There is an access issue too – that would mean two lifts are essential if people with mobility issues are housed in the flats. Where I live there is one lift – that essentially stops people with mobility issues leaving the building when the lift is out of order.
On an aside – If there were an underground car park I would expect it to have two access points from ground level. As it is my block on the Harbourside has only one access point to the car park. This is a safety issue in the event of a fire. We know how badly fire affected Millennium Square a few years back.

Thank you for the updates. I no longer live in Bristol so don’t see what is going on daily.
The changes all appear detrimental and adverse affect what was originally planned.
-Higher density with extra storeys
-More space given over to commercial use
-Loss of amenity areas at ground floor and at roof gardens
-The loss of one stair well is particularly disturbing. Recent disasters have shown how important
these are in event of emergency evacuation
