A planning application to turn a dilapidated garage in Twerton into short-term holiday accommodation has been submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council.
The garage is behind 29 High Street, which is an end of terrace, and the change of use proposals show that the holiday let will be timber-clad.
A report from the architects says: “The existing garage is in poor condition, has water ingress, and, due to its dimensions, fails to meet the minimum dimensions or required clearances set by local parking standards.
“The existing roof construction requires particular attention and replacement. The existing roof structure appears to have been undersized previously and is in particularly poor condition.”
The report says the conversion will be “functional, well-considered and sympathetic” and there will be “no ill impact on adjacent occupiers or the applicants/existing dwelling.”
It is noted that the immediate neighbouring properties are houses in multiple occupation (HMOs).
No. 29 has two off-street spaces, and one of these off-street spaces will be for the proposed holiday accommodation when in use.
The planning reference is 25/04627/FUL. The deadline for comments is 2nd January.
