Mead Street: survey on emerging principles and concepts for regeneration

Guiding principle 1 - Making it a place people want to live and work, are proud of and which is representative of the community that live there

Mead Street has good sustainability credentials - it’s a brownfield site within walking distance of Temple Meads Station, the city centre, as well as other local services.    The aspiration is to provide a range of uses to create a vibrant and bustling community for new residents and those living and working nearby and could include:
 

• New homes including affordable housing
• A small convenience shop
• A community facility
• Employment uses- The aspiration is to create employment opportunities which can co-exist with a residential neighbourhood.  The employment space offer could include offices and light industrial/workspaces/makers spaces. 

There is an assumption that to maximise the benefits of the area and meet our growing housing needs, new housing and employment space will be denser and at a greater height than the existing buildings. This will need to consider any impact on the surrounding area.
