A new sustainable office design has been submitted to Bath council by developer Topland, which could help create up to 200 new jobs in the area.

The Bath Chronicle has reported that plans to demolish a 1960s building - Green Park House - are currently being considered by council officials, with the design for the new office interior space having been shown to the public last October by the firm.

Martyn Stutchbury, a director at Topland's planning agent Scott Brownrigg, told the local paper: "There was universal support for the redevelopment of the existing Green Park House building and the overwhelming majority of people thought our design approach was what Bath needed."

In total, the new building could provide up to 2,634 sq m of office interior space which would be available for rent.

Lucy Pedler, director of the Green Register, recently said that developers must look to incorporate aspects of sustainable office design into their projects when creating new buildings, in order to help meet the government's targets on CO2 emissions reduction.
