A FORMER Wiltshire police station could be set to be converted into a house.

APD, on behalf of Gainsborough Station Developments Ltd, has submitted a planning application for the development of the former Alderbury Police Station, in Grimstead Road.

If approved, the plans would see the building be converted into a four-bedroom house, with two bedrooms on the ground floor and two above, with a garage, and home office space also on the first floor.

“The site has been redundant as an active police station for some time,” the application said. “There has not been a staffed walk-up front counter service at the property for over 10 years, being utilised purely for administrative purposes in recent years, prior to cessation of use and disposal due to consolidation of police services in the county.

“The site has been extensively marketed through a closed tender process on behalf of the former owner, the only interested parties being those looking to change the building to residential use.”

It said the site “lends itself to residential use” as it is surrounded by residential development.

Access to the site would be unchanged, with a shared access with 3 Grimstead Road.

The scheme will now be considered by Wiltshire Council planners. For more details, and to comment, log on to wiltshire.gov.uk and search for application reference PL/2024/09427.
