Plans to convert Widcombe offices into holiday let are approved

Plans to turn office accommodation in Widcombe into a holiday let have been approved.

The proposals submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council for 4 Millbrook Place included an application for listed building consent to carry out internal alterations to create a shower room.

The vacant property behind Widcombe Parade is Grade II listed and was converted into office accommodation 25 years ago.

There are two small office spaces with a WC and a small kitchen area.

Assessing the application, council planners said that given the size and layout of the premises, it is clearly “lower quality office space” and there are multiple other available office spaces within Bath that are equal to or of better quality.

They said the loss of office space is therefore acceptable, as is the proposed use as holiday accommodation.
