Great Western Railway is seeking listed building consent to reinstate the ticket office ceiling at Bath Spa Station which it has emerged was removed “without consent” last summer.

The customer information office on Platform 2 at Brunel’s Grade II* listed station was closed for two weeks last August.
Now in a report to Bath & North East Somerset Council, GWR says: “The ceiling was showing signs of severe deterioration and was unsafe for contractors working underneath.
“The ceiling was removed without consent by the contractor. The reinstatement is to be undertaken with a three-coat traditional putty system.”
The planning reference is 24/00944/LBA. The deadline for comments is 13th April.
