Relevant interests of the site (also see assessment form)
No.82 appears to have been built as a shop in the period 1900-1920 and the building retains its Edwardian character and architectural features indicative of the period. There is a timber shopfront with large fluted consoles to the fascia and green glazed tiles on the stall-riser, and a residential upper floor with canted bay window and adjacent 2-pane window with rendered trim. The roof pitch is unusually shallow and may have been altered following a fire in 1971.
Advice received (MRLAG or others)
MRLAG carried out an external inspection of the property at its meeting on 13 August 2007. Members unanimously recommended that No.82 be retained on the Register as a BLI.
JHT recommendation
82 Bath Street should be retained on the Register as a BLI as it retains its historic character and interest and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.
Justification relating to criteria
82 Bath Street satisfies the criteria for registration as a Building of Local Interest as set out in the Interim Policies for the Conservation of Historic Buildings, which state that ‘Buildings included in the Register are those which retain their historic form and detail, and so make a significant and positive contribution to the architectural and historical character and appearance of Jersey’.
