Repair works to historic wall and balcony planned at Bath hotel

A planning application has been submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council to repair an historic wall and balcony at a Grade II listed hotel in Bath.

Lansdown Grove Hotel in Bath

Lansdown Grove was built as a gentleman’s residence in 1770 and was converted and enlarged to create the hotel around 1860.

Listed building consent is being sought for repairs to the iron balcony and garden retaining wall.

There have been “long-term issues with stability”, and the balcony is currently cordoned off.

The application says the planned repairs will reverse the “decay and corrosion”, making the balcony balustrading safe and stable, as well as meeting current regulations.

The planning reference is 25/04340/LBA, and the deadline for comments is 18th December.
