With rapid progress being made on the new mixed-use development on land at Fox Den Road, Stoke Gifford, South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) has recently approved a further supplementary planning application for advertising signage at the site.

The development includes an Aldi supermarket, a Costa Coffee drive-through, a Premier Inn hotel and a Beefeater restaurant. Construction got under way in December 2022 and is scheduled to be completed by spring next year (2024).

The totem sign will be located to the north-most tip of the site, close to point B shown in the site plan above. This places the sign adjacent to the Premier Inn and the informal crossing on the Great Stoke Way arm of the Aviva roundabout.

In approving the application, planning officers said the proposed sign would have “no unacceptable visual impacts”. They also said they had no objections on the basis of impact on residential amenity or public safety.
