An industrial site close to Bristol city centre could have accommodation for more than 600 students built on it instead, according to plans unveiled by developers. Two blocks of student rooms would be built on the current Calor Gas depot in St Phillips, on a prominent site next to the Bristol-to-Bath Railway Path, close to the household recycling centre.
The area is part of the Temple Quarter regeneration zone, and is expected to undergo a huge transformation, with the arrival of a new Bristol University campus next to Temple Meads station in the next few years.
