Flats block plan for Bath Press site
Western Daily Press
|October 03, 2025
NEW blocks of flats with a modern ‘mansion house’ look could soon be built on the historic Bath Press site on Bath's Lower Bristol Road.
-
Work began on building flats behind the iconic facade on the eastern half of the former print works in March after developer City & Country bought the site last year.
Now the developer has submitted a separate planning application to “improve on and supersede” what had been planned for the as of yet unbuilt western half of the site.
City & Country wants to build 220 homes with a unique style on the western half of the site.
The new planning application said: “The scheme introduces a series of contemporary mansion houses, varying in height and architectural detailing, to create a dynamic and visually engaging frontage along Lower Bristol Road and Brook Road.”
