Plot ND7, Temple Quarter
Introduction
Public Consultation May 2014
Thank you for viewing this exhibition which shows proposals being brought forward by
Square Bay for a residential led, mixed-use development on a site within the Temple
Quarter Enterprise Zone
The vacant site, known as ND7, is located next to the Ibis Hotel, bordered by Anvil
Street to the north, Avon Street to the south and New Kingsley Road to the west. It
forms an integral part of the wider redevelopment of the Enterprise Zone.
Proposal
A planning application is being prepared for 166 residential units comprising 1, 2 and
3 bed apartments with commercial space at street level. The accommodation will
be arranged around a public square with basement car parking and associated
landscaping and improvements to the public realm.
Following discussions with Council officers, Square Bay and the design team would
like to share these latest proposals with key stakeholders, organisations and
neighbours before finalising the planning application for submission to Bristol City
Council.
Your Feedback
We would welcome your feedback before the scheme is finalised and a planning
application is submitted.
If you would like to make any comments please complete a form and return to ABC,
consultation co-ordinator, by 19 May at the address below:

Site Context
Site Context and History

View NE along New Kingsley Road
Plot ND7 is located within Temple Quay North and is
within the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone. The site lies to
north of the Floating Harbour and is bounded by Anvil
Street, Avon Street and New Kingsley Road. A new area
of public open space is situated to the east. Temple
Meads Railway Station is located to the south west, on
the opposite side of the Floating Harbour. The site is
currently vacant and surrounded by hoardings.
As part of the recent regeneration of this area there
have been some modern mixed-use developments
nearby including offices, residential and retail. The
general scale of these buildings is 6 – 8 storeys.

The site forms part of the Bristol Temple Quarter
allocation within the emerging Bristol Central Area
Action Plan which proposes mixed use development.
An outline planning permission relating to Temple Quay
North (Ref:-01/01606/P) was granted in May 2003.
plot ND7
This permitted a large mixed-use development across
the whole of this area, including business, residential,
leisure, retail, financial and professional services, food
and drink and community facilities. Although this
consent has now lapsed it remains a material
consideration.
Temple Quay North Regulatory Plan
The Council also approved a Regulatory Plan and Urban
Design Framework (UDF) which set parameters for each
of the plots. Office, residential, and retail uses were
approved on plot ND7.
In May 2013 a further planning permission was granted
to amend the Regulatory Plan and UDF to remove the
New Kingsley Road alignment.

Opportunities & Constraints
Concept
Investigate The Site Footprint Poor Urban Response
Constraints and Opportunities
Sustainable location -
Environmental Response Carve out footprint allow penetration sunlight
Reducing overlooking into neighbouring units
The site is well located close to existing residential areas and employment opportunities and the City Centre is a
10 minute walk away. There are a range of services and amenities close to the site including bus stops, a
primary school, convenience stores and pubs. Walking and cycling networks provide the opportunity for future
residents and employees to travel by modes other than private car, with onward connections to the Bristol and
Bath Cycle Path and Temple Meads railway station.
Designation with the emerging Bristol Central Action Plan -
The site forms part of an allocation for mixed-use development covering the Bristol Temple Quarter area and
includes the provision of residential and commercial uses.
Access -
Vehicular access to the site is limited to the locations shown on the proposed plans due to landowner
restrictions.
Contextual Response Breakdown continuous Street frontage
Establish Landscape Public Realm
Outline Planning consent -
o
ND7 Site
The previous outline consent remains a material consideration and any proposals for the site should generally
accord with the height, massing and key principles approved as part of the Regulatory Plan and UDF.

Opportunity to create active frontages -
o Overlooking & Proximity
The aim is for the ground floor to be occupied by a series of small commercial unites to create active street
frontages.
o Aspect, improved views
Public realm improvements -
o Carpark Restricted Access
The aim is to create a ‘sense of place’ with areas for public amenity and a focus on landscape. An oasis of
greenery will help break up the building, soften the street scape and bring visual relief from the hard edges of
buildings.
o Active Frontage
Contextual Response Active frontage onto public realm

The ground floor has residential entrances to the north, east and west, with the car
park entrance located to the south. Active commercial space is found to the north

at ground level.
