“This is a once-in-a-generation chance to re-invent, revitalise and modernise such a large part of the city centre.
“Our vision involves completely transforming this inward-looking, 1980s shopping centre, making the site more diverse, safe and green.
“The development opens up the city centre to Castle Park, with a real focus on addressing Bristol’s priorities around housing, health and wellbeing, climate, ecology, tourism and the economy.”
Mr Freed said that, in response to public feedback, the amount of public space had been increased, and the height of the tallest development reduced.
A decision on the development is expected to be made later in the year.
