237 Englishcombe Lane, Southdown, Bath

BPT strongly emphasises that the existing 4-bedroom scale of the dwelling and the close, pedestrian proximity of family facilities such as Roundhill Primary School and Hillcrest Park make this an attractive, convenient, and appropriate property for families. Whilst we acknowledge that the proposed subdivision into 2-bed flats does not necessitate a change of use, this housing typology would likely be more appealing to younger people or students and would therefore likely result in the loss of suitable family accommodation in this area.
