Data table and workings

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.

Prices are in pounds at the time, not adjusted for inflation.

Whole local authority area; not a typical home listing or the budget needed by a first-time buyer.

Provisional estimates can be revised. Historical boundaries follow the exact published source code; no old-code series has been relabelled.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

What could change things?

The action plan connects local evidence to proposed next steps. Announced projects and proposed responses are shown separately.

weakness

Finish the missing links along Bath’s riverside

Green Park Road works are progressing, but the Lower Bristol Road section is paused. The first Bath River Line phase is complete.

Proposed response: Join the completed riverside improvements to safe, continuous routes across the surrounding roads.

opportunity

Match new homes to affordable housing and services

The draft Local Plan is under consultation. Western Riverside has preparatory funding, while its next-phase approvals and delivery still need separate evidence.

Proposed response: track affordable homes and supporting services together, without treating site allocations as completed homes.

Local work to follow

Lower Bristol Road and Green Park Road

Bath Quays Links

Safer crossings and cycle lanes would connect Bath Quays Bridge to surrounding streets. Green Park Road is under construction; Lower Bristol Road is paused after contractor problems.

Partly under construction; Lower Bristol Road paused · source does not state a status date

Responsible body: Bath and North East Somerset Council

What the source says: The council page lists Green Park Road as ongoing, targeting 20 November 2026, and Lower Bristol Road as paused since May 2026. The removed pedestrian island is to be replaced with a controlled crossing.

Progress, funding and source

Cost: Not established by the evidence checked.
Funding: Not established by the evidence checked.
Area covered: Unmapped: a verified current ward boundary or council ward statement is still needed.

No verified ward footprint is assigned.

Norfolk Crescent, Green Park and Bath Quays

Bath River Line

Improved paths, seating and signs make the riverside easier to use. The first stage between Norfolk Crescent and Bath Quays is complete; further park improvements are planned.

First phase completed; later work planned · evidence dated 2026-03-17

Responsible body: Bath and North East Somerset Council

What the source says: The dated update confirms resurfaced paths, wider access and new seating. It identifies further Green Park work during 2026 rather than saying the entire riverside programme is finished.

Progress, funding and source

Cost: Not established by the evidence checked.
Funding: A further £600,000 regional grant was awarded in January 2026; this is additional funding, not the total programme cost.
Area covered: Unmapped: a verified current ward boundary or council ward statement is still needed.

No verified ward footprint is assigned.

Bath and North East Somerset council area

Draft Local Plan and infrastructure planning

The council is consulting on where homes, jobs and infrastructure should go. Consultation is a planning stage, not permission to build or proof that services are funded.

Draft plan consultation; not an adopted plan · evidence dated 2026-10-09

Responsible body: Bath and North East Somerset Council

What the source says: The official portal gives 18 September to 30 October 2026 for the main consultation. Additional site-assessment material published on 9 October has a separate 20 November deadline. The portal links a draft infrastructure delivery plan and housing evidence.

Progress, funding and source

Cost: Not established by the evidence checked.
Funding: Not established by the evidence checked.
Area covered: No verified current ward footprint is assigned. The named site or council-wide remit is not proof of benefits to every ward.

What is still missing

The reviewed local schemes are a selected evidence collection, not a complete council capital programme.

Current service capacity, incomes, waiting lists, school demand and project outcomes need additional verified local evidence before firm claims can be made.

A new start date for the paused Lower Bristol Road works has not been confirmed. The Green Park Road finish date remains a target.

Project locations have not yet been checked against current ward boundaries. No ward impact is inferred from a city-centre address.

Western Riverside later approvals, construction milestones and completed affordable homes have not been established by the June update. No current waiting-list or service-capacity figure is inferred.
