Plans for the regeneration of St Mary-le-Port in central Bristol have been put on hold after a local community organisation applied to register part of the proposed site as a town green.
A public inquiry has already been held to consider Castle Park Users' Group's application under the Commons Act 2006, which if approved, will cast doubt on developer Deeley Freed's attempts to redevelop the area.
Bristol City Council appointed Deeley Freed as its preferred developer in April 2006, with new cafés and restaurants among plans to transform the area, which contains a number of vacant 1970s office buildings.
According to Deeley Freed, the project will be a vital contribution towards the wider regeneration of the city's Wine Street and High Street areas, although land adjacent to the existing buildings may be needed to make the development commercially viable.
A spokesperson for the developer revealed that until the outcome of the inquiry is known, Deeley Freed will not be commenting further on proposals for the scheme, which the developer insists will affect less than five per cent of the park.
He said: "We are still some months away, but cannot be sure how many. At the moment, we are expecting a decision to be reached by summer 2009, but that could of course slip.
"If the application is decided in Bristol City Council/Deeley Freed's favour, a considerable amount of further work and consultation will then need to be done before they are ready to submit a planning application."
