The Square enjoys one of the most picturesque settings in Bath, located directly beside the iconic Bath Abbey. For the past four years, AGM has overseen the licensing arrangements for its expansive outdoor seating area – a key feature of the venue, facing out directly onto the bustling and lively Abbey Churchyard.

In 2024, The Square aimed to further diversify its offering by becoming a licensed wedding venue. AGM were instrumental in achieving this license, liaising positively with the relevant departments at B&NES and successfully secured the necessary permissions, unlocking a valuable new use for the site and an additional stream of revenue for the business.

John and his brilliant team at AGM have exceeded my expectations of what a planning consultancy is about. They really understood the clients vision and went above and beyond to help deliver it. From the outset, John and Lucy assembled a great team of skilled professionals. I was very grateful to have AGM alongside to help steer the ship to success.

Our go-to agency is always AGM. John and his team work closely and effectively and have a 100% success record for our projects. AGM’s understanding of listed buildings and the planning system is invaluable, and we look forward to continuing our relationship long into the future.

We cannot thank AGM enough as we would not have got our full planning permission without their amazing help. Their guidance, kind words and patience through all the paperwork that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to understand was thoroughly appreciated. We will be recommending them to everyone. Thank you all very much AGM!
