HUB and Bridges Fund Management submit plans for Bath scheme

Having announced the acquisition of the 4.5acre site in early 2024, HUB and Bridges Fund Management have now submitted plans for a former Homebase site in Bath.

The site, acquired for £18.5m, is set to be transformed into a mixed-use asset with over 450 homes – 275 BtR and 180 shared living properties. The plans also outline 10,000 sq ft of commercial and amenity space with the scheme connected via communal gardens and landscaping.

Victoria Manston, development director at HUB, said: “Pines Way is a fundamental component of Bath Western Riverside’s wider regeneration. The scheme has the opportunity to transform a vacant brownfield site into a thriving new neighbourhood – delivering new commercial space alongside high quality homes for the city’s growing community of workers.”

Adam Amijee, investment manager at Bridges Fund Management, said: “Our proposed transformation of this derelict site on Pines Way will provide much-needed high-quality new homes for Bath’s growing population, while also helping to revitalise this attractive riverside area.”

The scheme is designed by JTP Architects.
