The Vision for Salisbury

LATEST NEWS: The international design competition to renew the historic heart of Salisbury has been launched. For more information see the latest news page.

Welcome to the Salisbury Vision, an exciting and ambitious regeneration programme aimed at making Salisbury a better place to live in, work in or simply visit.

The Salisbury Vision provides a framework for coordinating and achieving the sustainable regeneration of five priority areas – the Maltings and central car park, Churchfields Industrial Estate, Salisbury Guildhall, the Market Place, and the Southampton Road. This will make a significant contribution to the life and economy of the city by providing much needed additional office, retail, leisure and other employment space. Considerable improvements will also be made to the city’s streets and other public areas through the development and implementation of a comprehensive public realm strategy. And finally the city’s transport infrastructure will be overhauled putting the focus on the pedestrian and on public transport.

In simple terms the Salisbury Vision will provide an improved quality of life for residents, an improved experience for visitors and an improved economic environment for businesses. It will do this by providing:

  • More office and employment space
  • A bigger range of shops
  • More housing and particularly affordable housing
  • Additional high quality hotels
  • Higher wages for employees
  • Improved cultural facilities
  • An improved public transport system
  • A much more attractive and ‘green’ city
  • A more pedestrian (and car driver) friendly city

For information on the Vision, on how it was developed, on what it contains and on what its objectives are see the Vision document.
