The Temple Quarter regeneration programme, a partnership project between Bristol City Council, the West of England Combined Authority, Homes England and Network Rail, aims to transform 130 hectares of land around Bristol Temple Meads railway station to deliver 10,000 new homes and thousands of new jobs, alongside new public spaces, low-carbon infrastructure and commercial uses.

A draft Development Framework for the area has now been prepared and published following the long-anticipated government funding award of £94.7m in June 2022.
To comment on the Draft Framework and to find out more about the programme of events, request alternative formats or complete the online survey, visit the online consultation hub.
We’ve also arranged a walking tour of the area surrounding Temple Meads.
The framework sets out the scale and ambition the partners have for change across the area stretching from Temple Gate to St Philip’s Causeway. Reflecting the project’s potential to transform a large area of the city and the anticipated benefits it will bring to the city and region; the Temple Quarter partners are eager to gather as much public feedback as possible.
The Development Framework is broken down into six key “character areas”, setting out the opportunities each area presents to transform the area into a world-class gateway to the city region. The six key areas are as follows:
- Bristol Temple Meads Station
- City Gateway
- Friary North
- Temple Gate
- Mead Street
- St Phillip’s Marsh
The areas around Temple Meads station include proposals for new and improved transport infrastructure, including three new entrances to the station itself, as well as opportunities for high-quality city centre living and working, and the public spaces to make it a place people want to spend time. Further afield, the framework includes high level principles for future change at St Philip’s Marsh that could bring the new homes and jobs that Bristol needs, as well as the potential to deliver a major new leisure and sporting facility on the site of the fruit market.
Drop-in sessions will also take place at Temple Quay Market on the 23rd and 27th February.
The consultation closes Wednesday 8 March 2023.
