A major scheme to regenerate an inner city area of Bristol is being drawn up by a newly-formed consortium of two well-established developers.
Places for People has teamed up with Bristol-based developers PG Enterprises with the aim of transforming five acres in St Paul’s, which could attract up to £300 million of investment. The consortium wants to redevelop the area with a mixture of residential, retail and employment uses, together with community facilities designed to turn it into a vibrant part of the city.
Tom Tippetts, Places for People’s head of strategic land acquisition, said: “This represents a golden opportunity to continue redeveloping the central area of Bristol and create a viable and sustainable neighbourhood with a mix of homes and jobs for local people”.
There are plans for an extensive public consultation exercise in and around St Paul’s to find out what people in the area would like to see in the redevelopment - explanatory leaflets and questionnaires are due to be circulated to 2,000 homes and businesses and public exhibitions are being held. The proposed redevelopment site forms a substantial part of an area currently the subject of a study by St Paul’s Unlimited, a Bristol City Council initiative set up to ease the way for the regeneration of the district, to address some of the area’s problems and to improve the quality of life for the people living there.
