Entry Hill Depot

Cross Manufacturing has been established in Bath since the 1920s. Our present facility at Midford Road is now at capacity. Having acquired the disused site of the former Council Depot at Entry Hill in late-2024, we are now preparing a full planning application to re-use the brownfield site to facilitate our growing operations. This will include the construction of new energy-efficient workshop and storage space, while retaining much of the existing trees and wildlife habitat and enhancing it with additional landscape planting.

Community Consultation

Before we submit a full planning application for our new facility to Bath & North East Somerset Council, we would like to hear the views of the local community and the wider city to help finalise our plans.

We have created this dedicated consultation website where you can view the emerging plans and provide your feedback.

Consultation drop-in event

Venue: St Andrews Community Centre, Hawthorn Grove, Bath, BA2 5QA
