Planning

Springfield House is located within the local authority area of Bath & North East Somerset Council and as such, any application to redevelop the site will be determined in line with the relevant local plan and other material considerations, such as emerging regional and local policy.

The site has most recently been used as a Bath and North East Somerset Council residential care facility.

Given the residential nature of the surrounding area and the pressure generally across the south west region to deliver significant housing numbers, we would anticipate a positive response to any application to redevelop the site for residential uses and feel there may be scope to develop further accomodation on the southern part of the site, subject to the necessary consents. All planning enquiries should be directed to the local authority.
