Bath, Arun, East Hampshire and The Cotswolds are pushing back against house building targets since Labour came to power in 2024.
Bath’s letter to Rayner echoed that of the Cotswolds, reading: “The city of Bath is a twice-inscribed UNESCO World Heritage site which covers both the city and its green setting. Development beyond our current plans for an additional 5,000-6,000 homes up to 2029-30 puts this status at risk.”
However, BaNES Council do not appear to be fighting to protect its wider area outside the City of Bath who will doubtless carry the weight of house building requirements.
