The developer of the former MoD offices on Warminster Road has requested that consideration of their application by the BathNES planning committee be delayed again to Wednesday 11th February.

However, they have also submitted a new application for converting the existing buildings to flats. The proposal, which is currently open for consultation, is for 154 dwellings within the eight single story office blocks currently on the site. If permission were granted to the conversion, which would not result in a significant change to the appearance of the site, then it may establish the principal that 154 units could be built on the site.

Your local Liberal Democrat councillors remain of the view that this is a prestige site which demands a high standard of urban design, sensitivity to the local area and consideration for its visual and environmental impact.
