Bristol University’s nine-storey building branded ‘monstrous carbuncle’
By Adam Postans, Friday Feb 26, 2021
Plans for the University of Bristol’s flagship new library and a public plaza have been thrown out by councillors.
Members branded the proposed nine-storey building that would replace The Hawthorns, on the corner of Woodland Road in Clifton, a “monstrous carbuncle” and voted by five to four against accepting officers’ advice to grant permission.
The city council’s development control committee decided that the design, pupils’ road safety concerns and the impact on the surrounding conservation area were unacceptable.
