City Hall chiefs have given the green light for a major regeneration project in South Bristol including 2,000 new homes. A master plan for the area around Whitehouse Street in Bedminster has been approved, paving the way for a complete transformation of the area.
The area is home to light industrial businesses and car garages currently but will radically change over the next 15 years. A regeneration framework, now approved by Bristol City Council’s cabinet, will guide how developers plan to build new flats and businesses.
Regenerating the area will include building cycle lanes and a new bridge over the New Cut, and reopening underground parts of the River Malago. The cabinet approved the framework during a meeting on Tuesday, March 7, marking a major step forward in the huge project.
