The Planning Committee of Bath and North East Somerset Council convened on Wednesday 15 April 2026 to discuss a range of planning applications. Key decisions included the approval of a large student accommodation development at the University of Bath campus, the permission for a care home in Paulton, and the approval of repairs and the installation of solar panels on a Grade II listed building in Milsom Street, Bath. The committee also approved the conversion of two flats back into a single dwelling on Foxcombe Road, Newbridge, despite an officer recommendation for refusal. However, a retrospective application for alterations to Charmydown Barn was permitted, with the committee opting to regularise the unauthorised works rather than enforce reversion.
