The developers plan to create a new gateway to Bristol with a reconfigured Bond Street-Newfoundland Street junction. A landmark four-storey department store--rumoured to be earmarked for Selfridges--will be the subject of a separate planning application with its own specialist architect.
In addition the masterplan by architects Chapman Taylor envisages another 15 major stores and more than 100 new shops; over 2,600 car parking spaces; more than 310,000 sf of new office space and a range of leisure uses including bars, restaurants and entertainment facilities.
The Broadmead scheme was granted outline permission by Bristol City Council in December 2002 and has been endorsed by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. The historic Quakers Friars element of the scheme received detailed consent in April this year.
Bristol Alliance Development Director, Bob De Barr, said: "Bristol is an extraordinary city with a special history and a unique cultural energy. We believe that all of this has been reflected in the design of quality buildings and vibrant and exciting retail and public environments that will attract shoppers from a much wider catchment and will act as a catalyst for further investment within Bristol."
Detailed consent will enable the Alliance to commit further to the scheme, with work beginning as early as summer 2004 and completion by 2007.
