Crest Nicholson

In 2006, the Council received planning applications from Crest Nicholson for significant developments within the western part of BWR.  The details of the various applications can be viewed here.

A report regarding Outline Planning Application 1 (OPA1) and Conservation Area Consent Application was considered at the meeting of the General Development Control Committee on 17th January 2007. The Committee resolved to grant Outline Planning Permission subject to the completion of a Section 106 Agreement.

It has been confirmed by the Secretary of State for Communities & Local Government that the Outline Planning Application 06/01733/EOUT and Detailed Planning Application 06/04013/EFUL do not require Ministerial determination as a 'Departure from the Development Plan' and that they can, therefore, be determined by Bath & North East Somerset Council.

Revised proposals were received by the Council in April 2010 and can be accessed via the links below - the changes are currently the subject of re-consultation and the applications will be reported back to the Development Control Committee in due course.

Outline Planning Application 1 (OPA1) - this application covers almost 18 hectares of the BWR area. This application was originally submitted in May 2006. Revised plans and supporting information, including a revised Environmental Statement, were submitted at the end of September 2006.
