Timber Mills is a transformative urban regeneration project in Fishponds, Bristol, aiming to convert an underused brownfield site into a vibrant, sustainable neighbourhood. The development plans include up to 1,600 new homes—featuring affordable and retirement living options—alongside commercial spaces, community facilities, and extensive green areas.
Emphasizing sustainable living, the design incorporates energy-efficient buildings, tree-lined streets, rooftop gardens, and enhanced biodiversity. Strategically located near major transport links, including the Bristol and Bath Railway Path and key bus routes, Timber Mills promotes active travel and reduced car dependency. As part of the broader Atlas Place Framework, the project seeks to balance higher-density housing with quality public spaces, supporting Bristol's growth vision while preserving the unique character of Fishponds and Hillfields.
