Plans for 100 new flats, a new shop, cafe, bar, restaurants and two hotels have been unveiled by developers for an empty site next to Temple Meads station.
Only 20 of the 100 new homes will be classed as ‘affordable’ - the rest will be up for rent on the open market - despite the land being owned by the taxpayer through the Government’s Homes England land and development agency.
The land, between Temple Meads station and Temple Quay, has been empty for years, and the new plan replaces a previous scheme - for a convention centre with 200 car parking spaces - that never happened.
