Description
The Bath and West Buildings, comprising three detached office buildings, are located directly off the Lower Bristol Road in the City of Bath. The Platinum Building, the largest, provides 6,914 sq ft of space and is currently vacant, while the Gold and Silver Buildings are occupied by Living With Limited and Riviam Digital Care Limited, respectively. The site, which is situated on previously developed "brownfield" land, is zoned for office use (Use Class E) and benefits from its proximity to the city center. The Council's spatial strategy prioritizes brownfield sites, and proposals for converting the site to alternative uses, such as residential-led developments, will be assessed based on various factors, including the quality of the office accommodation being replaced and market indicators. The site falls within the Bath World Heritage Site and near several Grade II listed assets, requiring sensitive design and architectural considerations. The site is also subject to a 30% affordable housing requirement, contingent upon a viability assessment.
