Planning Inspector supports WHS setting

April 26, 2017 Published by Beth Thomas

BATH SKYLINE FROM ZION HILL The green setting of Bath is a key attribute of Outstanding Universal Value

Following the World Heritage UK Technical Seminar on planning and World Heritage on 8^th March, you may be interested in this recent (18 April 2017) appeal decision from Bath. In dismissing the appeal for 20 dwellings within the WHS, the inspector was convinced by the Council’s policy documents including the WHS Management Plan and the need to protect open hillsides as part of the OUV. We know from discussion in the technical seminar that comparable examples from different sites are considered useful and this example also provides some validation of Bath’s ‘Setting Study’ approach, another hot topic! The decision can be found here. Please feel free to contact tony_crouch@bathnes.gov.uk for any further detail.
