Nando’s, Bath

Firstplan acted on behalf of Nando’s to secure permission for various planning, advertisement and listed building consent applications at this grade II* listed railway arch. The site fell within the Bath Conservation Area and is adjacent to Bath Railway Station, which is designated as being within the Bath World Heritage Site.

Following the wider redevelopment of the site, Firstplan was instructed to secure consent for a signage scheme, internal and external works, the installation of plant and creation of an external seating. In securing these consents, it was imperative to ensure that the works, which were necessary in order to bring the unit back into use, would continue to preserve the designated heritage assets. Historic features, such as original rail tracks and carts, together with a coal chute were restored and incorporated into the final proposal, in agreement with Historic England.
