00:00This week, Bristol City Council received a striking proposal.
00:06A 28-storey tower just outside of Cabot Circus on Newfoundland Circus.
00:12If built, it would soar well above the city's current skyline.
00:16Half of the block, about 500 student beds, would fill one section,
00:21while the other half would offer another 200 student rooms,
00:26or, alternatively, a 150-room hotel or co-living space,
00:31rising up 12 storeys in that section.
00:34At this stage, developers are consulting the council
00:37to determine whether an environmental impact assessment is required.
00:43That means that public consultation is just beginning,
00:46and formal plans are not yet submitted.
00:49The building would be owned by Hammersen,
00:52the company behind Cabot Circus itself,
00:55if approved, it would dwarf existing high-rises like Castle Park View,
01:00currently Bristol's tallest 20-storey building.
01:04Currently, Bristol's tallest at 26 storeys is near Fishponds,
01:09which is a separate plan proposing the demolition of two office blocks,
01:13Verona House and Philwood House, to build 380 new homes,
01:18part of the larger Atlas Place scheme, aiming for 2,000 homes in the area.
01:24Two historic chimneys will be retained,
01:27and buildings will range from three to six storeys.
01:30None of these applications have been decided yet.
01:34The tower near Cabot Circus will shape public debate,
01:38especially as Bristol reckons with its skyline,
01:41and the balance between housing need and urban heritage.
