Regeneration Delivery Plans for Bath, Keynsham and Midsomer Norton

The B&NES Sustainable Community Strategy identifies the key role that a thriving and resilient economy will play in achieving sustainable growth in B&NES.  The Economic Strategy identifies the key barriers to growth as the lack of available employment land and modern business space, the perception that Bath is not seen as a ‘regional’ office location and the record of slow and under delivery of new office space to date. 

The Economic Regeneration Delivery Plans (ERDPs) set out a framework for delivering one strand of the Economic Strategy within the context of the Council’s ambitions to create a more sustainable, productive and resilient economy and support the level of economic growth required to deliver the numbers of new jobs and homes set out in the draft Core Strategy.  The ERDPs describe potential sites and outline a series of actions that the Council will take to encourage the development of business premises.  They reaffirm to business leaders and developers that ‘B&NES is open for business’.
