Our Response
73 Lower Bristol Road is an unlisted shop located within the Bath conservation area and World Heritage site. The area is characterised by a high volume of Victorian residential terraces in Bath stone ashlar. Currently, 73 Lower Bristol Road is vacant and in poor visual condition; its scale and high-density massing make it a significant visual element of the streetscape that therefore requires suitable maintenance to enhance the conservation area.
