Working together
Portishead Town Council, North Somerset Council and Aberdeen Standard Investments have been working together as partners on a new study for the area around Wyndham Way in the town centre, between the high street, the marina and the proposed MetroWest railway station.
This study represents a very early stage. Find out more about the study.
The study was heavily influenced by feedback from the local community on what people like, what they don’t like and what they feel could be improved in the Wyndham Way area. Comments were made on an interactive map.
A steering group of local businesses, Portishead Town Council, North Somerset Council and Aberdeen Standard Investments was also established to explore how this area could be improved to bring the greatest benefit to Portishead.
North Somerset Council will now begin working with Portishead Town Council, landowners, residents and businesses to create a development framework for the area. A development framework is a planning document that will be used to help determine individual planning applications. It will guide future development and associated infrastructure in the area.
More information on this will follow later this year. Sign up for updates
