Plot 2&3 is the residential element of the wider Silverthorne Lane regeneration project which is transforming a disused post-industrial site into a vibrant new canalside community in Bristol's Temple Quarter.
The wider project has planning permission to deliver new homes, a new secondary school, commercial and research space, and student accommodation, with work now well under way on delivering various aspects of the regeneration project, such as the student accommodation at Plot 6 and the new secondary school at Plot 5.
Since the original plans were consented back in 2020 and subsequently approved by the Housing Minister in 2022, there have been a number of changes to Building Regulations, policies relating to areas such as Biodiversity Net Gain, and regulations around residential building safety introduced in the Buildings Safety Act 2022.
In response to these policy and regulatory changes, Bristol-based developer StudioHIVE has undertaken a review of the residential element of the project at Plot 2&3 and produced new designs for an enhanced scheme – The Iron Works, Silverthorne Lane.
The changes involved will require a new planning application for Plot 2&3 only, with work on the wider project continuing as before.
Prior to submitting an application, StudioHIVE would welcome feedback from the community on the revised design proposals for new homes, retail and hospitality spaces, new ferry stop and extensive canalside public realm at The Iron Works.
StudioHIVE has established a dedicated consultation website where people can find out more about the revised design proposals for Plot 2&3 and provide feedback: www.silverthornelaneplot2and3.com.
