District Councillors vote through landmark office building
District Councillors have voted to approve plans for a new landmark office building on London Road, which will form the new HQ for Salisbury Solicitors Trethowans.
The building, at the London Road roundabout near Hampton Park, Salisbury, is close to the new Park & Ride site.
The development was approved at the City Area Planning Committee on Thursday night.
Speaking in favour of the development, Cllr Paul Sample said: “This is a landmark development at one of the gateways to the City. It is a hugely important site and the architect has risen to the occasion by bringing forward an attractive building which will be a credit to the City. This is a modern building and it is right for this site.
“This is the sort of site, and the sort of development, that the District Council should be considering for its own office headquarters. My only regret is that the District Council didn’t choose a site and a design like this for its own office building. Instead it has chosen to build on a wholly inappropriate place like Bourne Hill, where a modern glass building will be totally out of keeping with its surroundings.”
