Heron North Yate exhibition - a report back

In case you didn't get to Heron's exhibition at YOSC or Yate Library, it was a pretty good briefing about the issues for the site, and it was good to see them making an early engagement with local people.

Some visitors were surprised by the scale of the development and how much has to go in the area. There will no doubt be pressure for the land least suitable for building to be designated as the Public Open Space allowance for the development, but local councillors are determined that the wettest areas should not be counted as part of this allocation because they wouldn't provide suitable space for recreation.


The Gazette reports that several hundred people visited the exhibition. Heron will now take feedback into account in developing an outline planning application, expected to be submitted in late summer or early autumn. More details area available from Heron at www.heron-northyate.info
