FASHION and homewares chain Oliver Bonas is set to open a new store in Salisbury, if plans are approved.

The firm has submitted a planning application to create a store at 33-37 New Canal, formerly home to Clarks,  Russell & Bromley and currently House of Tweed, which adjoins the Old George Mall.

Ahead of opening, the plans detail changes to the store, including the shopfronts and signage.

The scheme also includes plans to repaint the existing façade, timber shop front, facia panel, stall-riser, timber panelled pilasters and timber panelled entrance doors.

“It is proposed to lower the shop windows on this façade to achieve greater visibility into the shop,” it said.

“Number 33: new shopfronts are proposed on both sides of the building’s façade (New canal and the pedestrian ‘Old George Mall’), replacing the existing metal framed glazing for a design that unifies the two shops visually making these appear as one.

“This visual synchronicity is achieved by creating new window frames that are very similar to those on the other façade in shape, size and colour, to bring the two different shop fronts together as one.

“This will enhance the high street offer and visually integrate the two spaces as one.

“The proposal includes changing the location of the current single entrance door from ‘Old George Mall’ pedestrian walkway to a double entrance door to be under the archway into the mall.
