Diamonite Site, Goodneston Road, Fishponds
The site comprises two large utilitarian buildings that are largely vacant but used for storage
and by small scale office businesses.
The site in totality equates to 1.09ha and has one principal main road frontage to Goodneston
Road.
To the north west of the site is ALD Automotive. To the south west is an open area that is vacant
but was formerly used for car parking associated with the ALD Automotive.
It is important to note that the land to the north east (known as the Parnell Site) and to the
south east (the GPL site) both benefit from a resolution to grant planning permission for mixed
use redevelopment including housing.
The wider area is generally in residential use.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
Planning permission was granted in 2009 for the redevelopment of the site for 7380 sq.m of B1
office space in six three-storey blocks. There has been no market interest in this permission
given the location and poor access.
Whilst providing a purpose built office building that is able to accommodate the same number
of people currently working on the site, Diamonite now wishes to obtain planning permission
for residential use on this brownfield site close to shops, services and facilities.

The Diamonite site is in a sustainable location and its redevelopment for housing will improve
the environment and amenity for the existing residents of Fishponds. The redevelopment of
this underused employment site will benefit the area and be characteristic of the pattern of
development in this part of Fishponds.

Concept Masterplan
Site with resolution
to grant planning
permission
The Concept Masterplan shows the possible layout for
residential and office development located close to the
junction between Goodneston Road and Lodge Causeway.
There will be a principal access point towards the southern
corner of the site and an emergency access point located
further north east along Goodneston Road.
The draft layout has been carefully considered taking account
of the following:
• The need to respect the amenity of future residents by
considering the relationship with the site’s industrial context;
• The desire to create a development that is attractive,
varied and easy to find your way around;
• Adopt a landscape approach which softens the urban
environment and provides shade during the hotter summer
months;
Site with resolution
to grant planning
permission
•Provide development that is characteristic of adjoining sites
such as the former Parnell Works and Graphic Packaging;
• Provide employment floorspace on-site in the form of a
new high quality office building that will help form a gateway
into the site.
