Transport and highways advice for Bath Western Riverside
- Client Name
- St William
- Location
- Bath, UK
Challenge
SLR has been appointed by St William to provide transport and highways advice in relation to the proposed Bath Gasworks development which is a residential-led mixed-use community with approximately 600 homes, retail facilities and a primary school. This is a key development within the Bath urban area on brownfield land which seeks to deliver much needed housing within a short walk of everyday facilities.
Solution
SLR are working with the design team to develop the site as the ideal location to promote a new community designed at a pedestrian scale which maximises the place for people to live, work and play whilst minimising car use. This includes the development of a Sustainable Transport Corridor through the site to enable movement through a former brownfield site as part of the wider Western Riverside proposals.
Impact
The application for this was submitted in 2023 and discussions are ongoing with B&NES with the aim of the site being approved in 2024.
