5.82 The policy framework for the University of Bath was subject to significant review as part of the Local Plan Partial Update. It was informed by a new Masterplan that provided a vision of the future for the Claverton Campus, enabling the delivery of the development and infrastructure required to address the needs and expectations of its students and staff, and to facilitate the University’s sustainable growth in a manner that also enhances the unique beauty and environmental quality of the campus.
5.83 Whilst the existing policy is robust, there could be the possibility of exploring whether more PBSA could be provided on campus to help facilitate growth in student numbers without impacting further on the city. This could only be achieved through the review of current car parking provision or through intensifying existing developed areas of the campus (without increasing heights or creating other adverse impacts).
