Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios has been given the green light for its proposals to flatten three brutalist buildings in Bristol and replace them with office blocks.

The controversial plans will see the 1960s Bank of England House, Bank House and Norwich Union buildings demolished and replaced with 30,000sq m of office space surrounding the grade II-listed ruins of St Mary le Port church.

The studio said the historic ruins of the church and vaults at the centre of the site will also be restored, while creating additional outdoor public space.

Demolitions are becoming increasingly controversial because of the greater amount of carbon that is generally emitted compared to refurbishments.

FCBS said that biodiversity on the site would be increased by 85%, with more than 70 new trees being planted along with green roofs and terraces and a landscaped garden.

The practice is a signatory of Architects Declare, a  climate movement begun by 17 Stirling Prize winners in 2019 which commits practices to 11 principles around working to mitigate climate change and biodiversity decline.

One of the principles is: 鈥淯pgrade existing buildings for extended use as a more carbon efficient alternative to demolition and new build whenever there is a viable choice.鈥�

The group made headlines in December last year when both and pulled out because of a
