Developer to submit first outline application in 2027

Muse has been selected as preferred development partner on two key plots at the 10,000-home Bristol Temple Quarter scheme in the middle of the city.

The firm has been chosen to lead the overhaul of Temple Meads West, an area to the west of Bristol Temple Meads railway station, and another plot at St Philip’s Marsh.

Client on the scheme is Bristol Temple Quarter Limited Liability Partnership, a partnership between the city council, Homes England and the West of England Combined Authority.

Work on some plots is already underway, with a £23m eastern entrance to the station, being built by Bam Nuttall, set to open this September, alongside the University of Bristol’s £500m Enterprise campus being built by Sir Robert McAlpine.

Plans for a transport hub, known as the Southern Gateway, were also approved in November with a main contractor for the scheme expected to be announced later this month.

Muse is aiming to submit an outline planning application for Temple Meads West in early 2027.
