Local Expertise

working across bristol.

One consistent LXW process, tailored to the planning authority, site constraints and architectural character of each location.

Planning context

  • Bristol's Local Plan includes policies used to decide planning applications in the city
  • Bristol's conservation areas, listed buildings and historic townscape require careful heritage and design responses
  • Urban Living guidance is relevant to higher-density and constrained urban residential schemes
  • Terrace extensions often need careful handling of daylight, outlook, overlooking, access and party wall interfaces

Councils and authorities

  • Bristol City Council
