TWO flats could be created above shops in Salisbury city centre if permission is granted for an ‘upward extension’.

Atlas Planning Group, on behalf of Mr E Patel, has applied to Wiltshire Council for permission to add a storey to 163-165 Fisherton Street.

The scheme would create two one-bedroom residential units, above two current flats on the first floor, which themselves are above two retail units.

“The current ground floor commercial use, shop front and first-floor residential use which comprises two residential units, will be retained,” the application said.

“The proposed units will mirror the form and layout of the flats currently located above the commercial premises,” it went on.

An existing car park would be retained under the plans, it said, with bin and cycle storage added.

The shops on the ground floor are currently occupied by a blinds company and a hair salon.
