Cross Manufacturing Ltd
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.

Project update – November 2026: Planning application approved

Following community consultation during 2025, as well as extensive technical work, Cross Manufacturing submitted a full planning application to Bath & North East Somerset Council for the redevelopment of the former Entry Hill Depot to provide a new facility for the Bath-based engineering firm. The Council then carried out a rigorous programme of consultation with a range of statutory bodies, seeking feedback on the submitted plans in a process that helped to further shape the redevelopment proposals.

We are delighted to have now received planning approval from the Council for the regeneration of this brownfield site, creating new highly-skilled employment opportunities in the city.

We will be keeping this website live and updated as a source of information for local residents as the project progresses. You can also continue to contact our project team with any queries via our Get in touch page.

We would like to thank local residents and stakeholders who have engaged with the project throughout the consultation and planning process.
