Working with Legal & General
Bristol City Council and Legal & General have come together to bring forward the transformation of Temple Island. Their shared ambition is to bring this derelict brownfield land back to life and create a vibrant place to spend time in the day and evening.
In December 2024, following extensive public engagement, Legal & General (L&G) submitted a hybrid planning application for new development. This includes plans for two office buildings, around 500 new homes, and a hotel. You can view these plans on the city council’s Planning Portal.
As developments progress, L&G will continue to work closely with the BTQ team and the local community to make this vision a reality and create significant social, environmental and economic benefits for the city.
You can read more about Legal & General’s plans for Temple Island on the project website.
Enabling works
As part of these plans, Bristol City Council is undertaking engineering works that will prepare the Temple Island site for future development. These include site remediation to reduce contamination, structural fill to raise the site level, and utilities works to put in the infrastructure needed for new developments, including electricity, water and district heating.
