WATERFRONT PLACE

AERIAL IMAGE TAKEN AUGUST 2015



Waterfront Place represents an unprecedented opportunity to develop a 0.32 hectare (0.78 acre) site situated in a prime location on Bristol’s iconic waterfront.



The site offers potential for a landmark and destination development for a range of uses, subject to planning.



Waterfront Place has been allocated in the Bristol Central Area Plan as a development site with potential uses including offices, culture, tourism and leisure. Such a scheme would complement the existing uses and enhance Harbourside as a quality place to live, work and play.



Following Bristol’s year as European Green Capital 2015, Waterfront Place provides an opportunity for the city to continue to work towards its sustainability ambitions by delivering an outstanding and innovative sustainable development.



The site is held freehold by Bristol City Council.

BRISTOL KEY FACTS

Located approximately 120 miles west of London, Bristol is regarded as the commercial capital of the South West. With a population of around 450,000 (ONS, 2016) Bristol is the sixth largest city in England and is the most populous city in southern England outside London.



In 2017 Bristol was voted the Sunday Times best city to live in Britain, based on its culture, heritage and connectivity with other cities. It is the second time in four years that the city has won the accolade.



The city is set around an historic harbour and home to over 450 parks and green spaces, making it a highly desirable place to live and work.



Bristol has developed a strong service sector, and has become one of the largest employment bases for banking, financial, insurance and legal services outside of London. As such, it is a popular relocation destination.



Bristol (and Bath) is one of the strongest economies in Europe and is home to globally recognised clusters in aerospace and advanced engineering, high tech, creative and digital, low carbon technologies and financial & professional business services.



The city is also home to two highly regarded universities, the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.



Bristol has witnessed a significant amount of new development in the city centre over the last decade including the 1 million sq ft retail and leisure development at Cabot Circus; the £350+ million mixed-use waterfront development at the Harbouside; and the Temple Quay office quarter, which provides in excess of 1.45 million sq ft of mixed uses. A number of other regeneration projects are also either underway or currently being planned, including Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, one of the UK’s largest urban regeneration projects covering an area of 70 hectares (170 acres).

COMMUNICATIONS Bristol is strategically located adjacent to the junction of the M4/M5 motorway interchange, approximately 4 miles to the north west of the city centre, which provides excellent access to London, South Wales, the South West and the Midlands. Bristol has two principal railway stations - Bristol Temple Meads (approximately 0.8 miles to the east of the city centre) and Bristol Parkway (approximately 6 miles to the north of the city centre). Both stations provide frequent direct mainline services to the major cities throughout the UK. London Paddington (high speed) has a current approximate journey time of 1 hour 40 minutes from Bristol Temple Meads. Bristol International Airport is located approximately 7 miles to the south west of the city centre. In 2016 it was the 9th busiest airport in the UK, handling over 7.6 million passengers. It is also one of the UK’s fastest growing regional airports. Bristol International Airport offers scheduled flights to 144 destinations and serves as the inbound gateway to the South West.

SITUATION Waterfront Place is a key site within Bristol’s Harbourside. Located to the southern end of the Waterfront it is adjacent to the Floating Harbour and is bounded by the Bordeaux Quay restaurant to the north, Millennium Square and the edge of Canons Way to the west and Lloyds Commercial Finance to the south. Importantly, the site is uniquely positioned between the high quality public spaces at Millennium Square and the Amphitheatre/ Waterfront Square which fronts the Floating Harbour. The site is undeveloped. It currently forms part of a wider public space concentrated around the retained amphitheatre.

The regenerated Bristol Harbourside area has been transformed from a once derelict part of Bristol’s city centre into a vibrant mixed use community. Over the last 20 years comprehensive development has delivered cultural, leisure, retail, office and residential uses into a location which is well connected by public transport, water taxis, pedestrian walkways and cycle paths.

14

DESCRIPTION The site identified for sale extends to approximately 0.32 hectares (0.78 acres). The site is rectangular in shape and is broadly level. It is currently laid out as a hard surfaced square with relatively mature trees in raised planters defining the edges of the square. The site benefits from direct water frontage onto the Floating Harbour. Road and service access is available via Explore Lane to the north west of the site. The site is centrally located and is well connected to the public transport network. Millennium Square Car Park (parking for 550 cars) provides easy access to the Harbourside and is located just off the A4 ‘Anchor Road’ to the north. This car park is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Waterfront Place is prominently situated at the southern end of the Waterfront and occupies a key remaining site within Bristol’s Harbourside.”

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BRIEF OVERVIEW A Development Brief has been prepared by Savills in conjunction with Bristol City Council (as planning authority and as landowner) . A copy of the Development Brief can be found in the data room: www.savills.co.uk/waterfrontplace The Development Brief highlights the planning opportunities, constraints and the design principles that will guide the delivery of this significant development opportunity. The Brief is intended to provide a guide as to the key planning requirements to potential purchasers/developers and provide clarity on development expectations while providing flexibility in the delivery of the development at this key site.

The Brief has also explored planning policy that is applicable to development proposals for the site. In summary, the Waterfront Place site offers a significant development opportunity and the potential to deliver a high quality scheme. The site has potential to accommodate a variety of uses which are appropriate to its context and respond to the identified opportunities and constraints. Potential uses include office, culture, tourism and leisure related uses. There is scope to extend this range through complimentary uses, in particular at the ground level where active frontages are encouraged.
