Disabled Parking Bays requested

I have requested that a disabled parking bay is put outside the chemist on Twerton High Street and Mount Road.

I have had confirmation that both of these will be put forward in the next TRO consultation that will be taking place between April and June this year.

These should make it easier for those with a disabled badge to park and access the chemist and other shops,

The Hollow - Inspectors Decision - APPEAL DISMISSED

Tim and Sarah are pleased to confirm the outcome of the recent independent Inspector's decision over the Planning Application for the land on The Hollow is as follows:

Appeal Decision

Site Visit made on 10 February 2021

by Nick Davies BSc Hons BTP MRTPI

an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State

Decision date: 03 March 2021

Appeal Ref: APP/F0114/W/20/3248964

Land Between City Farm and Cotswold View, The Hollow, Southdown, Bath BA2 1JN

• The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant planning permission.

• The appeal is made by Mr Nick Warfield (Freemantle Capital Partners (Hollow) Ltd) against the decision of Bath and North East Somerset Council.

• The application Ref 19/00786/FUL, dated 22 February 2019, was refused by notice dated 20 December 2019.

• The development proposed is erection of 9(no.) dwellings with associated access, parking, drainage and landscaping.

Decision

1. The appeal is dismissed.

Preliminary Matter

2. The Council’s decision notice refers to a Soft Landscape Plan numbered 1380-02-P5. The evidence indicates, however, that the drawing considered by the Council when making its decision was numbered 1380-02-P4, so that is the drawing that I have also considered.

Main Issues

3. The main issues are:

a) Whether the development would conserve the Outstanding Universal Value of the City of Bath World Heritage Site;

b) The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area; and,

c) The effect of the development on the biodiversity value of the Twerton Farm Site of Nature Conservation Interest
