Appendix 5: Detailed Site Assessment TablesSiteSite andSurroundingAreasDescriptionGT.17 Newbridge Marina, Brassmill Lane, Bath, BA1 3JTThe site is 3.64 hectares, of which approximately 2.7 hectares is developable.The site is located outside the Bath housing development boundary.The site has reasonable access to local services and facilities.The current site use is as a marina and caravan park.The site benefits from existing mature screening.HighwaysSite ConstraintsAccess to the site is currently from Brassmill Lane. This permits access for large vehicles, including caravans. No problems areanticipated from the change of use to residential accommodation.The site is located within the Green Belt.The site is also located within the boundary of the Bath World Heritage Site (WHS).Potential forDevelopment andSuitabilityThe site is in an accessible location with an established use as a caravan park. The development of this site would meet anidentified need and benefits from established services that would not require significant works to convert to a Gypsy andTraveller site.The development of this site would also make efficient use of Council-owned previously-developed land.Availability andAchievabilityThe site is Council-owned but is not available in the short to long term due to the existing 150 year leasehold; change of use forGypsy and Traveller accommodation would require the existing use to cease. In order to unlock the potential of this site theexisting marina and caravan use will need to be relocated.The site is not considered likely to be released within the next 5-10 years. Longer term availability (10 years+) is dependent onfuture opportunities for relocation of the existing use. The site is not likely to be made available and should not be considered forallocation.
