The 135 hectare area will be transformed over the next 25 years, with at least 10,000 new homes and over 22,000 new jobs. This project will contribute £1.6bn annually to Bristol’s economy, a key part of the West of England's £39bn economy.
Bristol Temple Quarter is undergoing a major 25-year regeneration, transforming 130 hectares of brownfield land in central Bristol into a vibrant, mixed-use community.
The refurbishment of Bristol Temple Meads will improve on its role as the region’s largest transport hub. Improvements will include new station entrances, alongside enhanced public transport and walking and cycling routes, creating a greener, more connected community.
Station improvements will unlock land nearby for new homes, commercial development, and public spaces, including early delivery on publicly owned land, delivered by the BTQ partners and their private sector partner, due to be selected in late 2025. The project is backed by a £94.7m Homes England grant awarded in 2022 for infrastructure, land assembly and development around the station.
St Philip’s Marsh is an opportunity for transformational growth, with potential to deliver thousands of new homes and diverse employment opportunities. It can play a vital role in the UK's national growth strategy, including in sectors like digital and technology, linked to the University of Bristol’s new Enterprise Campus.
BTQ LLP has commissioned initial master planning to outline key early priorities and the infrastructure needed to enable development. This work will inform a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), to be developed in late 2025 and adopted in early 2026.
