The regeneration framework identifies four themes which address the needs of the community manifesto and project brief. From these themes follow a set of six principles which structure the regeneration framework. Embedding the principles into design is anticipated to deliver a set of outcomes for the regeneration.
Bristol is aiming to deliver 33,500 new homes by 2036. The Whitehouse Street Regeneration area has the potential to provide around 2,000 of these in a highly sustainable brown field location as part of a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood.
To ensure no net loss of jobs across the framework area up to 15,000m2 of new employment space of a range of types will be provided. Where possible, existing businesses that are compatible with a mixed-use neighbourhood will be able to remain.
To support the new neighbourhood, new and improved pedestrian and cycle routes will be created. New pedestrian streets and potential improvements to Philip Street will seek to improve connections to East Street and Bedminster Parade. Connections will be made to the Mead Street and Bedminster Green Regeneration Areas.
The streets and public realm will be redesigned to be suitable for a mixed use neighbourhood and include new street trees, pocket parks and soft landscaping.
