Bath Press planning application

The planning application for the redevelopment of the Former Bath Press sire into 244 dwellings and new office space was approved at the development control committee this afternoon with 9 voting in favour and one abstaining.

Liberal Democrat Councillors on the committee have called for restrictions on any residents on this site being able to park in local streets. Councillors also warned that any new 4 bed homes on site must remain as family homes and should not be allowed to be converted into HMO's.

Comments from Conservative councillors is that this site has been a headache for along time but this is a good scheme.

Local residents will at last know what is happening on this site and we hope that the conditions that apply to this site will improve living conditions for residents.
