Bristol City Council and the British Zoological Scociety have agreed a section 106 planning agreement to allow the development of 196 homes at the former Bristol Zoo Gardens site in Clifton. 

The council’s development control committee granted planning consent for the Bristol Zoological society’s application to develop the site in April 2023.

However in the 14 months since, officials and the developers bosses have been working to agree the planning conditions, including how the gardens that won’t be built on will be maintained to be open to the public as a privately-owned park. The agreement has now been signed.
