Legal and General has filed plans for a £350m scheme in the Bristol Temple Quarter regeneration area.
The development in Temple Island aims to deliver 520 homes, two office buildings, retail space, flexible workspace, and a hotel with conference facilities.
In addition to L&G’s commitment to deliver the national policy level of affordable housing, it is working in partnership with Bristol City Council, the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority, and other public sector partners to deliver an inclusive community with 40% of all housing catering to social and affordable rents, shared ownership, and keyworkers at sub-market rents.
Tony Dyer, leader of Bristol City Council, said: “It’s great to see proposals for much needed new homes and commercial space submitted for Temple Island. The council has been working with L&G for a long time to bring these plans forward, so this is an exciting milestone to reach after so much hard work.
“Temple Island will be a key part of the wider Bristol Temple Quarter area, contributing to our ambitions to deliver 10,000 new homes and thousands of new jobs across the area. This plan-ning application is a brilliant springboard to kickstart 2025 for Bristol Temple Quarter, which looks set to be a significant year for the project.”
Ben Rodgers, head of regeneration at L&G Asset Management, said: “We are excited by the op-portunity to regenerate Temple Island, revitalising the urban landscape and providing the key infrastructure that businesses, universities, and the public sector need to thrive alongside much-needed housing for the local population in Bristol.
“All the feedback from the public engagement has immensely benefitted the final planning ap-plication, and we are grateful to the residents and stakeholders who took the time to speak with us. We look forward to continuing to work with our long-term partners to develop a new landmark on this prominent city centre site.”
