BANES Local Plan Consultation

The Bath and North East Somerset Council Local Plan is expected to go out for public consultation later this year, following sign off by the Council’s Cabinet.

The emerging Local Plan will set the planning framework for Bath and North East Somerset up to 2042. It will include a clear vision, strategy and planning policies to guide how the district grows and changes over the next 15–20 years, and how planning applications for new development are decided.

As soon as the consultation links are published, we will share details of how you can have your say via our blog: https://twerton-community-news.blogspot.com

Residents in Twerton and Whiteway regularly raise concerns with us about the shortage of family housing and the proliferation of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). The Liberal Democrats are insisting that the emerging Local Plan must include stronger controls over the conversion of family homes into HMOs, while also proposing solutions to the housing shortage. This will be your opportunity to have your say on these policies and help shape the area.

These include a potential development site to the west of Bath, which could provide much needed local housing for our communities.

Additional Council Housing

If approved, the Local Plan would help unlock new affordable housing across the district. This would include new homes to be provided by the Council and for social rent. The Liberal Democrats are committed to delivering genuinely affordable housing for local residents.

If you would like to discuss this with us, please contact Tim and Sarah who will be happy to meet with you.

Please make sure your voice is heard by taking part in the consultation when it opens

Disabled parking - Twerton and Whiteway

Last year, Councillor Sarah Moore requested that several advisory disabled bays were upgraded to enforceable bays to aid parking for our less mobile residents, one of these bays is on Garrick Road and two on Highland Road.

As parking is increasingly difficult for all residents we have received more requests to convert advisory bays to enforceable bays as residents are struggling to get from their vehicle to their home due to the distance they have to park.

The key distinctions between an advisory bay and an enforceable bay is that it has a legal Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) assigned to it by the Council and it has a sign erected on a post (or lamppost) on the pavement as close to the bay as possible confirming is it for blue badge holders. All on-street bays are white with the word DISABLED painted on the road next to them. When using these bays a valid blue badge MUST be displayed as a PCN (parking ticket) can be given to non blue badge holders for parking in these bays.

This year we have requested that all other advisory bays in Twerton and Whiteway are converted from advisory to enforceable bays to make sure they can be accessed by our less mobile residents.

Only bays that have been assigned via a TRO are enforceable and so anyone who requests a new advisory bay will not have it automatically "plated".

Bath Road and travel improvements

Essential work to fix roads and improve walking, wheeling and cycling routes across Bath city centre is being carried out from the end of May onwards. 

Engineering works in Manvers Street will started from 26 May for six months, while works on walking, wheeling and cycling improvements in Bridge Street are set to start on the same date for three weeks. 

Bath & North East Somerset Council anticipates some disruption to travel times and is encouraging people to make the most of its Park & Ride services. Services run regularly from sites around Bath (Newbridge, Odd Down and Lansdown), making it easier to visit shops, attractions and workplaces.  

Ongoing improvements to put in segregated cycle ways across the city and improved access along the Bath River Line are also being carried out throughout the summer and into the autumn. 

Construction of these projects may cause some delays however the council is committed to keeping this to a minimum and has worked closely with contractors and utility companies to coordinate works. Works are also set to be completed before the Bath Christmas Market begins in November. People can check routes on One Network. 

Councillor Lucy Hodge, Cabinet Member for Sustainable Transport Delivery, said: “Work on Manvers Street is essential and necessary to ensure the long-term safety and resilience of the road, and to prevent issues occurring with vaults underground, like we’ve already seen in St James’s Parade.

“We appreciate there’s never an ideal time for maintenance works and we are working to minimise disruption. These improvements bringing smoother journeys, safer streets, better walking, wheeling and cycling routes and cleaner air will provide long term benefits for all our communities.”

This week we have no new planning application for Twerton and Whiteway.

Haycombe Drive flooding update

Following conversations with residents and several emails concerning issues on a section of Haycombe Drive that was constantly subject to severe flooding whenever we had heavy rain, Councillors Sarah Moore and Tim Ball met with Council Officers to discuss options to find a suitable resolution.

Councillors Sarah Moore and Tim Ball are pleased to confirm that the gullies on either side of the road have now been considerably widened and new large drain covers put in place.

We hope that this will now resolve the issue, but will be carefully monitoring the area.
