Walcot House is an upmarket Restaurant-Bar in Central Bath. AGM were tasked with getting planning approval for a rooftop bar area, which came with considerable challenges, given the proximity of neighbours and the Grade II Listed Building Status.
Starting with an ambitious design, we assessed the viability of the project and decided to withdraw the application that was currently with the Council so a process of considered redesign could occur. We advised the design team on necessary changes for various noise mitigation factors, ensuring that the final development would be as minimally intrusive as possible for surrounding occupants.
With these changes in place, AGM arranged suitable surveys to prove the adjustments were sufficient. A revised Full application was subsequently submitted and permitted by the Council with acceptable conditions attached to the consent, which have since been discharged.
