80 Langdon Road, Southdown, Bath

BPT does not object to the material changes proposed to this suburban property. However, we strongly emphasise that the close, pedestrian proximity of family facilities such as Oldfield Park Junior School, Brickfields Park, and Bath City Farm make an attractive, convenient, and appropriate property for families. A change of use to a HMO would not serve the local demand for housing in this area and would result in the loss of suitable family accommodation. Approval of this application would maintain an undesirable precedent and should therefore be resisted.
