We recommend considering the policy option for this site together with those for the Westmark Site.
5.45 This large and important site has been delivering new homes for the city for the past fifteen years. It comprises of a number of different land parcels, and development on these parcels has largely either been completed, has the benefit of consent, or is subject to a current planning application. Changes were made to the existing policy wording to reflect the climate and ecological emergencies as part of the LPPU and there is considered to be little justification for any further changes at this stage.
Option A
We are proposing to retain the existing policy for Bath Riverside, and to make a separate site allocation policy for the Westmark Site
