Issue details

Bath Quays North (BQN), Bath

The Legal & General development agreement for Bath Quays North expired on 19th July 2024 having not secured a viable or proceedable development.  The Council has taken back full control to consider alternative delivery options.  Consequently, a new delegation to commit further project expenditure against the budget provision is now required.

Two routes to delivery are being evaluated:

Firstly, through a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Bath to explore how their occupation of the site could be developed to meet both parties’ objectives.
Secondly, to establish occupier interest and explore further market appetite to deliver the scheme.

Costs are funded via approved WECA grant.
