KPPC is providing planning support for the regeneration of the landmark Cathedral Hotel in Salisbury.
Plans and listed building consent applications have been submitted to Wiltshire Council on behalf of owners Larasian.
The project:
This exciting scheme will transform the Grade-II listed property in Milford Street into a five star hotel with a rooftop ‘Spitfire’ bar offering stunning panoramic views over the city and its cathedral.
In addition, the new venue will feature 13 luxury suites, spa services, function rooms and alfresco dining in a private landscaped courtyard restaurant. It will have an interior inspired by local culture, history and craftmanship.
A model Spitfire will be installed in the rooftop bar in tribute to those who worked in Salisbury’s Spitfire factories. Some 2,500 of the fighters were built in the city during the Second World War.
KPPC role:
KPPC is working with owner Brian Currie and his company Larasian, DevComms and architects Corstorphine & Wright on the Salisbury project.
Its support includes:
- ongoing planning advice
- stakeholder engagement support and public consultation
- submission of planning application
KPPC planning director Adam Bennett is leading on the project for KPPC. The proposals were warmly received during public consultation during 2024 in Salisbury.
The regeneration will provide a significant economic benefit to Salisbury by generating new employment opportunities, drawing more visitors and in turn enable a significant uplift in visitor spending, contributing to the city’s long-term economic stability.
