Also, sustainability is a cornerstone of the project, as all commercial buildings will aim for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method Outstanding status, with a focus on enhancing biodiversity through planting and creating enjoyable public spaces.

The project focuses on environmental goals by enhancing connectivity, reducing car use through new pedestrian and cycle routes, and ensuring strong building design and inclusive spaces.

Zaha Hadid Architects and LDA Design are at the forefront of designing the buildings and landscaped areas.

Bristol City Council leader Tony Dyer said: “It’s great to see proposals for much-needed new homes and commercial space submitted for Temple Island. The council has been working with L&G for a long time to bring these plans forward, so this is an exciting milestone to reach after so much hard work.

“Temple Island will be a key part of the wider Bristol Temple Quarter area, contributing to our ambitions to deliver 10,000 new homes and thousands of new jobs across the area.”
