Developers have submitted a planning application to build two hotels and a block of 108 flats on a site next to Temple Meads Station.
The plans, first revealed by Bristol Live in July last year, would see three tower blocks built on what is currently an empty plot of land next to the Floating Harbour at Temple Quay which was formerly used as a location for the pop-up Yurt Lush restaurant. Developers want to build a four-star hotel with 234 rooms, an aparthotel with 168 rooms and a block of ‘build-to-rent’ flats with 108 new homes.
The three buildings would be built around a green space in the centre, and developers say they will plant 65 new trees, including riverside willows at a location where Bristol City Council recently and controversially cut down trees by the water’s edge. Of the 108 flats, all would be rented out by the developers, and 20 per cent would be classed as ‘affordable’ in planning terms.
