Salisbury Steam Laundry plans THE site of the former Salisbury Steam Laundry warehouse could be turned into two houses, under new plans. The application, submitted by OB Architecture, is for the retention and extension of an existing warehouse to create a four bedroom dwelling and the erection of a new three bedroom dwelling . The site exists as a courtyard used for car parking and comprises a brick industrial building, previously occupied as a workshop and store. The design and access statement says the planning history over the last 14 years confirms that there is no objection to the residential development of this brownfield site , adding: The site meets Wiltshire Core Strategy’s Core Policy 1 and falls within the Housing Policy Boundary of Salisbury.
