View Bath Recreation Ground site allocation SB2 on a map
4.2 Core Strategy Policy B1 refers to provision of a sports, cultural and leisure stadium on the Recreation Ground site, subject to the resolution of legal issues. The Placemaking Plan, through Policy SB2, allocates the site for a stadium and sets out a series of development requirements. Recently a Court judgement has been issued confirming that the restrictive covenant in the 1922 Conveyance, affecting the land, remains capable of enforcement by the beneficiaries of it. This may have implications for the wording of Core Strategy Policy B1 and site allocation Policy SB2. Therefore, a number of options are proposed for consultation.
