Salisbury Hospital and Old Sarum policing hub plans among latest applications
By Swindon Now Editorial Team · Published
New proposals filed with Wiltshire Council reveal significant infrastructure updates for Salisbury District Hospital and the development of a police facility in Old Sarum.
A series of new planning applications submitted to Wiltshire Council highlights significant upcoming changes to local infrastructure, including notable developments at Salisbury District Hospital and the proposed policing hub at Old Sarum.
Salisbury District Hospital has lodged plans to demolish Buildings 16, 17 and 22, alongside the partial demolition of Building 15. The project aims to facilitate the provision of replacement car parking and the installation of a new bus stop and shelter. These works are linked to the ongoing proposals for the hospital’s Diagnostic and Surgical Hub, known as DASH, which is expected to add 100 new parking spaces to the site.
Meanwhile, fresh, updated proposals have been submitted for a new policing hub at land off Mitre Way in Old Sarum. The application seeks approval for a comprehensive facility including a storage building, a vehicle washdown unit, a fuel store, and extensive parking facilities for staff, operational use and the public, alongside dedicated cycle parking and site access.
Other notable applications
The latest list of applications validated in the Salisbury area in the week ending 20 September also includes a variety of residential and commercial projects:
Whaddon: A variation of conditions has been requested for The Chapel on Southampton Road to retain the existing structure rather than proceed with partial demolition, as part of the ongoing change of use to a residential dwelling.
Alvediston: Plans have been submitted to remove an existing kitchen extension at The Manor House and replace it with a new build.
Amesbury: A series of single-storey extensions and a first-floor side extension are proposed for 49 Countess Road, alongside driveway widening to increase parking capacity.
Downton: A proposal for an electric vehicle charger at Waterside Mill, designed to be concealed from the road.
Salisbury city: Various applications include extensions at 98 Harnham Road and 58 Thistlebarrow Road, and retrospective permissions sought for a hanging sign at 49C Castle Street and a shopfront at 56-60 Milford Street.
Wiltshire Council is currently reviewing these applications. Residents interested in reviewing the full details or submitting comments on any of these proposals can access the documents through the council's online planning portal using the reference numbers provided in the official public notices.
