Planning Consultants in Bath
Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage City, meaning all development must preserve or enhance its outstanding universal value. The World Heritage Site Management Plan and the Setting Study are key material considerations for any significant planning application. Heritage impact assessment is required for most development in Bath, and pre-application engagement with Historic England is strongly advisable.
