Bath and North East Somerset Council : Grande Parade and Undercroft

Thursday July 11th 2013

MDA has been appointed to provide Quantity Surveying services for the first phase of this prestigious project in the centre of Bath overlooking the historic Pulteney Bridge, which will rejuvenate the river frontage including the Colonnades, undercroft and vaults in addition to the land adjoining the Boat Dock.

The project forms the first phase of a major scheme that is to redevelop the riverside Colonnade next to Parade Gardens to attract high-class shops, cafes and restaurants and expanding the 30-stall market. Public access is to be improved with new access gained from Grande Parade and Pulteney Bridge. Future phases will see the revamping of Newmarket Row, with housing, leisure facilities and cafes.

The project will create a new fully accessible destination point for tourism and business. It will:

- Retain the Guildhall as the Headquarters of the Council

- Bring redundant space back into use for community and commercial benefit

- Enhance the Bath Markets

- Maximise heritage potential
