Bath Business Park Site Option
Adjacent to the hospital and existing employment site (and, therefore, taking advantage of the existing junction) there is an opportunity for suitably scaled industrial/commercial development.
The current development is highly visible within the landscape and therefore any development here would need substantial mitigation to screen the buildings from the surrounding landscape.
In addition to the previous consultation, land to the north east of the business park has also been identified as a potential extension.
These sites are located within the Green Belt and therefore, exceptional circumstances to justify release of the land from the Green Belt would need to be demonstrated in order that it can be allocated for employment development. This process will be informed by updated green belt assessment.
Expansion of the Business Park has the potential to provide the maximum floorspace for the following uses should only one use class come forward. A mix of uses would result in a lesser amount of floorspace of each use type.
- Industrial – 19,840 square metres
- Office – 39,680 square metres
- Warehouse – 24,800 square metres
