Emergency structural repairs are needed to the roof above the Banqueting Room at Bath’s historic Guildhall, it has emerged.
The roof of the Guildhall in Bath
The Grade I listed building is owned by Bath & North East Somerset Council, which undertook preliminary roof condition survey work which has identified the need for repairs.
A decayed truss and tie beam below the roof area, referred to as B2, needs urgent repair. No works are proposed to the Banqueting Room itself as part of the repair project.
The planning reference is 26/00468/REG13 and the deadline for comments is 26th March.
Other roof works that are considered necessary will form part of a separate application for listed building consent at a later date, says the council.
