Former Heidelberg Materials, Concrete Site, Newbridge Road, Bath

The site is part of a former rail site, abandoned by British Rail in the 1960s, and occupied for many years by our clients as a concrete batching plant. Access is via a private access road to the right-hand side of the adjoining (former) Hartwell's garage site and dropping down around 10 metres from the road to the ground level behind.

Somewhat unusually, a large part (around half) of the site is situated below the adjoining garage forecourt, formerly occupied as a car sites site but now with planning consent for students and housing. This area has over 7 metres height, and is sectioned into 4 separate bays. The area over this is owned by Hartwell's under a long lease.

The remainder of the site is open space.

Location

The site is situated on the western fringe of Bath City, in an area known as Newbridge, straddling A4 Bristol to London Road. Bath centre is just under 2 miles to the East and Bristol is around 12 miles to the west. The immediate area is residential in character as the site is approached but the site is accessed alongside a former storage site, via a ramp down.

Behind the site, the area is largely industrial in character and Locksbrook Road adjoining is one of Bath's few remaining industrial areas.
