A full planning application for the demolition of an existing detached garage and the erection of a modest one-bedroom detached dwelling on land adjacent to Newbridge Road, Bath.

The proposed development represents a carefully considered infill opportunity within the established urban fabric of Bath, contributing to local housing supply in a sustainable location.

The site lies within the settlement boundary of Bath, as defined by the Bath & North East Somerset Local Plan, and benefits from access to existing public transport, services and local amenities. The site is not located within a Conservation Area, does not impact upon a listed building, and is located within Flood Zone 1. However, the site is situated near the boundary of the Bath World Heritage Site, and a separate Heritage Statement has been prepared to assess and demonstrate that the proposal will not result in harm to the setting or significance of this designation.

A Design & Access Statement, including a Sustainability Report, also accompanies this application and provides further detail on the architectural approach, material palette, energy performance, and accessibility provisions. The proposed dwelling has been designed to meet and exceed the minimum internal space standards set out in the Nationally Described Space Standard (NDSS), ensuring a high standard of residential amenity for future occupants.
