A plan to clean and repair the stonework of one of Bath’s most important Georgian buildings, which has suffered traffic pollution, has been approved.

The application seeking listed building consent for works to the Grade I listed townhouse in Queen Square was submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council.
It said No.18A has been subject to a lot of road contaminants and dirt as traffic stops and starts at the nearby crossing.
This has left the façade of the five-storey building in need of remedial works.
The plans include removing some of the “heavy contamination” at the same time as repointing where necessary and painting the windows.
Scaffolding will be erected so the works can be carried out.
