Dandara Living

Consultation Site

Welcome to our public consultation website. We are consulting the local community on our plans to create a new, vibrant and inclusive community on the former Peugeot dealership and Victoria House site on Clarence Road, sustainably located in central Bristol.

Our proposal

Dandara Living is a developer and operator of ‘build to rent’ sites in the UK, with a portfolio of 2,500 apartments and 180,000 sqft of commercial, retail and community space already under management. In 2021 the company was voted number one property management operator in the UK on Homeviews.

We are currently developing proposals for the creation of a new mixed-use development on Clarence Road, in one of the city’s most well-connected locations for jobs and public transport links. Plans include around 400 new homes as well as flexible ground floor commercial and community space and extensive investment into the public realm. The development forms part of the Temple Quarter regeneration area, which is set to deliver 10,000 new homes to Bristol. Bristol is currently experiencing a serious housing shortage which the Temple Quarter regeneration area is helping to address.

As operators as well as developers, we are going to be members of the community for the long-term. Our goal therefore is to work together with all stakeholders to help build a thriving new neighbourhood we can be part of.
