29 – 33 Princess Victoria Street 

Introduction

The proposed development focuses on the renewal of 29-33 Princess Victoria Street in Clifton, a historically rich and vibrant area of Bristol. The existing building contains a restaurant and café at ground level, with student accommodation above. 

The project aims to enhance the building while respecting its architectural heritage, providing additional high-quality student accommodation. The proposal includes refurbishing the rear elevation and adding a mansard roof extension to create 11 studio apartments, while the existing courtyard storage space will be converted into 6 more.

In total, the development will introduce 17 new student studios while keeping the ground-floor commercial uses unchanged. It also includes new landscaping, featuring green spaces and a 'living wall', making better use of the site, providing needed facilities, and complementing the area’s character.

Public consultation took place in February/March 2025. Following feedback from stakeholders, neighbours and members of public, the project team reviewed the proposals and have now submitted a full planning application and an application for Listed Building Consent to Bristol City Council. This can be found on the planning portal using reference: 25/11444/F .

There have been a few changes to the scheme since it was submitted and these are now reflected on the following pages. Comments can still be sumbitted on the planning portal.
