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".
