The application for the site at Claverton Down will increase the quality, capacity and accessibility of the pitch provision at the campus.
It will replace 2 unlit grass pitches, 1 of which is unused because it is too small, with a full-sized recyclable all-weather turf pitch and multi-use games area that will provide one basketball and two netball courts.
The university says it will have a capacity of 87 hours per week, which is a 50-fold increase on the current provision.
The consultation runs until 9th October and the public are invited to view proposals here.
Comments received will be considered in finalising the scheme design.
It is anticipated that a full planning application will be submitted to Bath and North East Somerset Council in early November.
The proposed turf pitch contains no glue, binders, or latex, allowing for one-step recycling.
