Plans to build a large multi-storey car park close to a busy railway station have been submitted.

The new transport hub, which would include 379 car parking bays, new bus stops and space for more than 530 bikes would be built just south of Bristol Temple Meads station.

The proposals are part of a wider scheme which aims to bring thousands of new homes and jobs to the city centre.

Bosses of the project said the plans were the “first piece in the jigsaw” in the transformation of the area and Bristol City Council said it was “thrilled” to see the progress of the proposals.
