10 - 11 Avon Buildings, Lower Bristol Road, Bath, BA2 1ES

OPPORTUNITY
The site is an attractive proposition for potential development in Bath, situated on the main south-western approach into the city centre.

Historically the site was host to two buildings fronting Lower Bristol Road, as well as the large workshop/garage that remains. The front section of the site was demolished in 2020, leaving it as it is today.

The site is 0.15 acres or 6,450 square feet in size.

The site represents a rare, freehold, opportunity within Bath to create a new mixed use, commercial or residential development, subject to necessary consents.

LOCATION
The site is approx. 2 kilometres from Bath city centre and Bath Spa railway station. Adjacent to the site is a bus stop with regular buses directly into the city.

In addition, Oldfield Park railway station is within a short walking distance of the site, giving excellent connectivity to Bristol via regular trains to Temple Meads railway station.

With public transport so easily accessed, the site could be considered for a car free/car limited development, (subject to necessary consents).

The site falls within the 'Twerton Riverside Enterprise Area', which is highlighted in the currently adopted local plan as being "suitable for a broader range of uses and there is scope to redevelop the area to provide new business premises and housing".

The local plan also highlights that improvements are needed for sites fronting Lower Bristol Road, a key approach to the city centre.

As such there is substantial development occurring along the Lower Bristol Road, which includes different residential tenures, such as student housing, residential sale, affordable housing and build to rent.
