This consultation has now concluded. Information about the project is still available to read below, and results will be published in due course.
This Development Framework includes proposals for a mix of land uses to create a new city centre development of residential, office and hotel space within easy reach of Bristol Temple Meads station.
On the south side of Temple Gate, this framework proposes new housing in the area. 40% should be provided as affordable housing. The affordable housing would likely be a mix of 70% socially rented and 30% shared ownership. Small courtyard areas can be incorporated, including green landscaping and high-quality public realm.
In addition to residential uses, retail could be incorporated on the ground floor along Temple Gate to create an engaging streetscape. This could be a convenience store which would also serve the existing residents in Redcliffe to the west. One new hotel building of approximately 7,500m2 is also proposed on the south side.
New multi-storey offices could be built either side of Temple Gate. The Bristol & Exeter Yard area also has potential for new courtyard areas, including more tenants and retail uses in the arches beneath the Station Approach ramp.
This area can be seen as an extension of the existing business district around the station, but new buildings will also need to be sensitive to the residential neighbourhood behind.
Instead of commercial offices, the Bristol & Exeter Yard area has potential to be a future mass transit stop. This site is perhaps better suited to an overground system due to challenges of excavating so close to the river. A mass transit stop at this location could improve links to enter Temple Meads station.
