Temple Meads tower block cut from 20 storeys to 15 by developers

Developers wanting to build hundreds of flats on a prominent site at the entrance to Bristol city centre say they have scaled back their plans.

Developers Dandara have now submitted a planning application for the site of the now boarded-up Robins & Day Peugeot garage on the corner of the Bath Road Bridge roundabout, opposite Temple Meads, and want to build a total of 432 new homes - all of which will be ‘build to rent’ and not available for anyone to buy themselves.

Back in May last year, Bristol Live revealed Dandara wanted to build several blocks of flats on the large site, with the tallest building a 20-storey block of flats. The developers now say they have listened to people who submitted their views in a pre-application consultation programme, and they have reduced the height of the tallest building by five-storeys down to 15-storeys high.
