Regeneration framework

A regeneration framework is a document that brings together urban planning, transport and design to guide change in an area.

There are four aims for Bedminster Green which informed this regeneration framework, and they are supported by plans and diagrams to show proposals for future movement networks, land use and density, and public and open spaces. By taking an area-wide and holistic approach to managing change, regeneration frameworks can help to overcome and respond to complex challenges which extend beyond individual landownerships. Read more on Bedminster Green leading aims.

In 2019, we produced the Bedminster Green Framework – a roadmap for how development should happen within Bedminster Green. We pooled local knowledge and experiences with technical and design expertise to lay out a plan for the area. It sets out what kind of housing should be built, where it should be built, and what services and amenities those homes would need. The framework also details how these homes should be connected to their surroundings – to local bus and cycle routes, green spaces, and the low-carbon district heat network.

Regeneration principles

The base of this diagram, which is the same for all the framework diagrams, is a hand drawing showing the urban blocks of the wider Bedminster Green area – East Street is towards the top of the image, Dalby Avenue is in the middle, the railway and Bedminster station is below that and Windmill Hill is at the bottom. A large pink arrow is running along East Street and has several smaller pink arrows pointing towards it running along the adjoining streets. There are two dashed lines running parallel to East Street above and below on the smaller residential streets nearby.
