Development in the city centre will be higher density to support growth. Bristol will finally embrace a tall buildings policy to drive vibrancy and economic growth delivering less piecemeal and more clustered buildings to protect the city’s heritage and skyline. These will be principally clustered around certain areas of the city; Broadmead, Temple Quarter, St Philip’s and Brabazon. We will witness c.30 storey developments on The Galleries, Cabot Yard, Bearpit amongst others within the Broadmead area. Whilst in Temple Quarter and St Philip’s, these will be clustered around similar tall buildings on the likes of Temple Island. Although these developments will push up the skyline of Bristol, the main impact will be the increased residential population in the city centre, bringing more economic activity and culture on which the city thrives.

Affordable housing will be delivered in every new development. The release of a tall building strategy and success of the city centres regeneration has driven values to a point where all new schemes are able to meet policy compliant affordable content for the first time. To encourage interaction among people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, providing social cohesion and addressing inequality. This will provide better opportunities for access to education, healthcare and employment. Following a successful pilot scheme, all new housing will be required under local planning regulations to be Passivhaus Certified. A pilot project will lead to adoption of Passivhaus by 2030 across the city core delivering the highest quantum of highly sustainable urban living in the UK. Aligned to other initiatives, including a new net zero urban school situated in a repurposed office building. Bristol will become one of the most walkable, legible, liveable and sustainable cities in Europe. The growth of urban living extends to families and all age groups driving diverse communities. 06

Last Mile Logistics - Net Zero Hub. A consolidation zone will house the first net zero last mile handling hub. All deliveries to the central traffic free zone will come into the hub and be delivered by the most appropriate means - being a combination of e-cargo bike, autonomous bots, drones and driverless lightweight vehicles. This will ensure that the entire city centre core remains almost traffic free for the majority of the time.
