Councillors will make a final decision on the proposals for the Bristol Zoo site on 26 April.
A final decision will be made by councillors at a planning meeting on Wednesday 26 April.
As part of the plans, the gardens at the centre of the zoo site will be open to the public for free year-round. Dr Justin Morris, Chief Executive of Bristol Zoological Society, said: "We are really confident in our plans and the quality of the design proposals we have submitted. "As well as delivering sustainable, much-needed homes for Bristol, our plans for Bristol Zoo Gardens secure the site as a public park, a community asset, so everyone can enjoy its beauty and heritage for many years to come."
The Society submitted a planning application in May 2022, before resubmitting it in October after feedback from the council and Historic England.The gardens will be open to the public and other buildings will be retained at the siteA separate planning application for 62 new homes on the zoo's west car park was approved in November last year."The ability for visitors to enter the site, free of charge, post-redevelopment, is a significant heritage benefit," it said in a statement.
