Tesco's have finally submitted their new planning application for the former Bath Press site on the Lower Bristol Road.  This site has been left derelict for a considerable length of time and we are keen to see it re-developed.

The application is for the demolition of existing buildings and redevelopment of the site to provide a residential-led mixed-use development comprising 244 dwellings (Use Class C3) and 1,485.2 square metres (GIA) flexible employment space (Use Class B1), basement car park, associated landscaping and access

The proposed housing is made up of:

Market Housing

1 bed flats/maisonette - 55
2 bed flats/maisonette - 104
3 bed flats/maisonette - 21
3 bed houses - 10
4+ bed houses - 20

Social Rented Housing

1 bed flats/maisonette - 5
2 bed flats/maisonette - 14
3 bed flats/maisonette - 6

Intermediate Housing

1 bed flats/maisonette - 3
2 bed flats/maisonette - 6

The remaining space would be used for offices and an underground car park for 207 vehicles and cycle storage for 301 bikes would be put in place.

The application number is 15/02162/EFUL and can be viewed here on the BANES website, comments can be submitted up to 17/06/2015, with a proposed decision date of 31/08/2015.

Sarah and Sharon would welcome residents views on the application and look forward to hearing from you.
