More details have been revealed about plans to redevelop a site in Stokes Croft, currently home to popular club Blue Mountain, and build hundreds of student beds and commercial space.
Blue Mountain has long been one of Bristol's most famous clubs, but in 2018 it was revealed that its days are numbered.
The owners of the Stokes Croft venue announced last year that Blue Mountain is going to close.
It then emerged RedOak Property, a “real estate fund focused on UK purpose built student accommodation investment", had plans to demolish the building and build a mixed-use scheme in its place.
A planning application for the scheme - which would see 245 student beds built in tower blocks up to eight-storeys high - was submitted to Bristol City Council earlier this year.
It is likely to be decided at a development control committee meeting later this year, or early next year.
And in the meantime it seems like the owners of Blue Mountain are continuing on with business as usual, having just revamped the venue’s outside area and launched an Instagram account.
But whether the scheme goes ahead is still very much in question, with around 100 objections to the plans submitted to the council, including one from the Coal Authority.
The proposals relates to a site on the corner of the A38 North Street and Moon Street.
If approved the scheme would provide flexible commercial space at ground floor, office space on the first floor, with student accommodation above.
Communal facilities for the residents are provided at ground floor level in Moon Street.
According to the planning documents the block adjacent to the Full Moon pub would be five-storeys, stepping to six-storeys away from the street edge.
The northern block, which fronts Stokes Croft, is six-storeys, stepping to seven-storeys away from the street edge.
The central block to Stokes Croft is seven-storeys, stepping to eight-storeys away from the street edge. This would be the tallest block and would sit in the centre of the development.
The developers aid, within the Design and Access Statement, that the plans would provide a “significant investment in the Stokes Croft area”.
“The proposal will regenerate a partially derelict city centre site and, by maximising its potential, will fulfil the planning requirement to make the best use of the site.
“The scheme will provide student accommodation required by the local universities.
“A positive contribution will be made to the conservation area by providing a high-quality building which is sympathetic to the neighbourhood and adds interest to the streetscape.
“Provision of employment in the ground floor commercial units, first floor office space and management team for the student accommodation.”
