Two planning applications have been made this week which may be of interest to residents of The Avenue at North Road. One application seeks to demolish Norwood Dene, at the western end of The Avenue, and replace it with three houses. The second, 100m away at Woodlands on North Road, is to change the use from residential to offices for the University.

The Norwood Dene application is by developer Ashford Homes. They propose two houses facing the road, with a third larger home behind.  Consultation is open until 25th June; if you want to comment on the scheme you can do so here.

The Woodlands application is to change the use of the building from a house to offices. The University of Bath has previously let the building for residential use. There are no physical changes requiring planning or listed building consent proposed. Consultation is open until 20th June; if you want to comment on the scheme you can do so here.

– Cllr Nicholas Coombes is no longer able to comment on planning matters as he works for the Planning Inspectorate.
