Objection to Bath Milestone Displacement
We the undersigned wish to register our objection to any proposed displacement of the Grade 2 Listed Milestone (List entry No: 1394763), in order to facilitate a vehicular access from the Upper Bristol Road, Bath into the Lark Place allotment site where a development of 5 houses has been approved. We believe the access, which would be a private driveway, is ill considered and inappropriate in that it will put pedestrians crossing the 8.5 metre width at risk from vehicles exiting the driveway with limited sight lines and would create potential vehicular conflicts on this very busy stretch of road. Any proposal to tamper with the historic fabric of Bath must be questioned but in this case displacing the Listed Milestone which has been in place since 1800 and compromising the safety of pedestrians and passing vehicles for the profit of developers should be stopped.
