A LISTED Salisbury building – and former medal and coin shop – is set to be converted into a home, if plans are approved.

Atlas Planning Group, on behalf of a Mr and Mrs Jones, has submitted a planning application to change the use of 81 Church Street from retail to residential.

The scheme would see the main building on the site, formerly home to Castle Galleries, converted into a residential property.

“Large parts of the building in its current form will be retained, but the proposed internal alterations are essential to facilitate the re-use of the building for residential purposes,” the plans said.

“The proposed change of use and associated alterations will not have a material impact on the external appearance of the building.

“Importantly, the proposal will seek the reuse of the current vacant retail unit while facilitating much needed restoration and repair to the whole building.”

The shopfront would be retained, the plans said, with modern internal partitions removed and “minor changes” made to the layout.

A bathroom and WC would be created upstairs, with an attic fireplace also revamped, the application added.

Planners at Wiltshire Council will now consider the scheme. For more details, and to comment, log on to Wiltshire.gov.uk and search application reference PL/2024/07304.
