StudioHIVE has secured planning consent from Bristol City Council to build 434 new homes at the 12-acre Silverthorne Lane urban regeneration scheme in the city.
The Iron Works will provide a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom build-to-rent (BTR) homes near Bristol Temple Meads station and will also feature new workspace, bars and restaurants and a public space.
StudioHIVE is working in partnership with Woh Hup and Atlas Land, which acquired the site in June 2023 as part of the wider Silverthorne Lane masterplan.
James Howard, development director at StudioHIVE, said: “Silverthorne Lane represents the biggest regeneration of a brownfield site in Bristol for some time, one which will provide huge social value benefits in a previously neglected part of the city. At a time of considerable economic uncertainty we’re very proud to be delivering hundreds of much-needed new homes in the city centre, alongside employment and leisure opportunities for the people of Bristol and beyond. The city council’s decision means we can now press on with this exciting project with a view to delivery in around four year’s time.”
Sophie White, head of Lichfields’ Bristol office, which is providing planning consultancy on the project, added: “Lichfields is delighted with the planning committee’s decision on this landmark housing scheme. Securing consent follows close collaboration with Bristol City Council, StudioHIVE and the wider design team. As one of the first residential projects in Bristol Temple Quarter, it will play a key role in shaping an exciting future for this part of the city.”
