Planning in Bath can be controversial. I was on planing for the two submissions of the Eric Parry modern extension to the Holburne Museum of art in Bath. On both occasions I proposed acceptance. The first vote was lost and the amendments made enabled the second vote to be won.

Th scheme adds a modern extension on the back to enable the museum to be able to adequately dsplay its collection, allow access for all and give more space that is needed for the museum to have a viable lon term future.

The building works are progressing well and now the architect, Eric Parry, has had a national award – The Richard Fielden Architect of the Year – for his body of work.
