Talks are under way with retailers including Sainsbury’s and the Co-op to fill one of the units at a new development at Lower Bristol Road in Bath.
Signal Box Yard in Bath
Block 1 at Signal Box Yard is a new residential build-to-rent development with commercial units on the ground floor.
A planning application has been submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council to install temporary full-height perforated window vinyls to the remaining vacant units to conceal bare interiors and ongoing fit-out works while tenants are secured.
The vinyls will be perforated to maintain clear views from inside, and it is anticipated they will be removed “within a short timeframe”, subject to securing tenants.
“Active negotiations” are said to be under way with national retailers as well as local independent businesses.
The gym frontage at units 6c–7a has already been approved and is being fitted out.
For Units 6A and 6B the vinyls will be permanent to provide advertising for the development and to conceal a maintenance store.
The planning reference is 25/03281/AR. The deadline for comments is 18th September.
