Summary:
- Downing plans to replace the Nelson Street NCP car park in Bristol city centre with 300 student rooms and two new ground floor commercial spaces, addressing the city’s growing student housing demand.
- The development includes infrastructure improvements such as a new bus lane on Fairfax Street, enhanced walking and cycling routes, outdoor seating, social areas, and upgraded green spaces to support sustainable urban living.
- Downing is conducting a public consultation until November 10 to gather community feedback on the proposals, aiming to create well-located, well-maintained student homes that also boost local business activity and revitalise the area.
