Bristol Temple Quarter Regeneration

Our vision

The Bristol Temple Quarter and St Philip’s Marsh Regeneration Programme is one of the largest city centre housing and employment schemes in the UK.

Our vision for the immediate area around Temple Meads train station is to create a sustainable and flourishing new urban area, a place that is welcoming to all – to live, work, study, enjoy leisure time and builds on Bristol’s strengths as a world class city.

With Bristol Temple Meads station at its heart the Temple Quarter and St Philip’s regeneration programme will redevelop over 130 hectares of brownfield land in two development phases over 25 years.

Bristol Temple Quarter Regeneration

What is being created?

The regeneration will create up to 10,000 homes and up to 22,000 jobs across several thriving mixed-use communities in the areas around and to the east of Temple Meads station. As well as creating new places to live and work the development will unlock benefits for local communities and businesses.

The first phase of development will focus on the area around Temple Meads and a second future phase will focus on St Philip’s Marsh. The transformed station will be the gateway to an innovation district centred around the new University of Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus so leading research and development can link to and work alongside local and regional businesses.

A refurbished Temple Meads Station will build on its role as the region's largest transport hub. Work will preserve the heritage of Brunel’s stunning station while creating a gateway to the city fit for the 21st century. Public transport, walking and cycling will all be made easier, creating a greener, well-connected community.

The regeneration will create up to 10,000 homes and up to 22,000 jobs across several thriving mixed-use communities in the areas around and to the east of Temple Meads station.

New Eastern Entrance at Bristol Temple Meads

A new station entrance is planned for the Platforms 13 and 15 end of the passenger subway, exiting onto the new University of Bristol campus. The plans involve extending the passenger subway underneath the track, opening the perimeter wall of the station, and constructing a new entry building on the university campus side.

Once complete, the new entrance will improve access to Bristol Temple Meads allowing a higher volume of passengers to enter and exit the station to the east of the city via the development site on Cattle Market Road.

We look forward to seeing these projects progress. Our work continues with Great Western Railway and other partners to improve rail services for people across our wonderful region.
