Multi-room developer and builder Watkin Jones has secured planning approval for a 322-bed student accommodation block in Bristol\u2019s Temple Quarter.<\/p>\n

The scheme \u2013 named The Ionic \u2013 will sit within the Silverthorne Lane Conservation Area and forms part of the city\u2019s flagship regeneration around Temple Meads and the University of Bristol\u2019s new campus.<\/p>\n

It marks the developer\u2019s third scheme in Temple Quarter, as Bristol battles a chronic shortage of student housing.<\/p>\n

The Ionic will be delivered in time for the 2028\/29 academic year and feature ground-floor commercial space.<\/p>\n

The design’s green features include air-source heat pumps, an electric heating system, and rooftop solar panels, with the ability to link into the future district heat network.<\/p>\n

The building will be a short walk from Temple Meads station, bars and retail areas, and will provide residents with a range of shared social amenities.<\/p>\n

Ben Wrighton, head of planning and development at Watkin Jones, said the project would help address Bristol\u2019s housing crunch while supporting sustainability and placemaking goals.<\/p>\n
