Dormant Applications
This section is a repository for past information, where there are no planning activities imminent, but further activity is expected eventually, either to proceed with development where planning permission is granted, or to raise further planning applications where earlier attempts were refused or withdrawn.

Application Details
Bath Press
The printing and bookbinding business that traded as Bath Press was closed down, and the premises sold. English Heritage declined to list the building, but Watchdog still believes the frontage and the remains of Sir Isaac Pitman's Phonetic Institute, which we believe is incorporated into the fabric of the building, should be preserved. We are waiting to see what plans are put forward. Details of the news so far can be found by using the menu on the left.
Oldfield Park
Planning permission was granted to demolish 43 Upper Oldfield Park and construct a set of 14 flats in the grounds thus emptied, and we are waiting for work to start. Details of the scheme can be found by using the menu on the left.

Sydney Road
Somewhat confusingly named Waterside Court in the planning application, but with no connection with the student accommodation of the same name on the lower Bristol Road, this was a scheme for extending the Bath Orthodontics building on Sydney Road beside the canal. This application was withdrawn, but so was an earlier scheme on the same site, so it is possible that there might eventually be a third attempt. Details of the scheme can be found by using the menu on the left.
