Student Accommodation Hopes For Derelict Building in Bath
A derelict building near the centre of Bath has been purchased in the hope of redeveloping the site into student accommodation Green Park House, a derelict former residential care home at a key gateway to the city centre, has been purchased by the Berkeley Group. The purchase also includes neighbouring Ernest Ireland House.
The site has an existing planning permission for a 190 bed hotel and office space, however no development based on this consent was brought forward by the previous owners of the site.
The Berkeley Group now wishes to bring about the redevelopment of the site, which currently sits boarded up, occupying a prominent position overlooking Green Park and the River Avon …
The accommodation will not have any car parking, with tenants being prevented from having cars under the terms of their contracts or applying for residents’ permits, policies that are already successfully enforced at other managed student blocks in the city. The development will also benefit from 24 hours on-site management ensuring the safety and security of students.
