Latest plans submitted for Warminster's Jubilee Gardens

Outline planning permission was granted for up to 1,000 homes on the site in 2020 and this third phase of construction would concern the land north of Victoria Road and to the west of Bath Road.

It would be a continued extension of the Linear Park and complete the full length of the central spine road, connecting the previously approved sections from the two new junctions.

The development should provide a mixture of two-bed, three-bed and four-bed properties, each with allocated off-road parking.

If the plans are approved by Wiltshire Council, the developer says the wider scheme will invest “millions of pounds” in the local vicinity, delivering a “sustainable community for local people.”

This will include land for a new primary school, significant areas of open space including a riverside park, equipped children’s play areas, two areas of sports pitches and associated changing rooms.

A local centre, allotments, public art, employment land, improvements to public footpaths, new pedestrian and cycle routes, biodiversity enhancements and a dedicated ecology area will also be delivered at Jubilee Gardens.

This phase would involve a mixture of properties from the developer and its sister company, Charles Church.

Persimmon Homes regional managing director, Julian Roper, said: “We’re very proud of the progress we’ve made so far at Jubilee Gardens and are delighted to be bringing forward the next stage of our plans as we aim to deliver on our full vision for the development.

“Persimmon is a business that is committed to leaving a positive and lasting legacy in the areas in which we build, from environmentally sustainable homes for the open market and housing associations, to open public spaces and ecological enhancements.

“We hope our record of delivery and the quality of our plans will speak for themselves, and we look forward to working with key stakeholders such as Wiltshire Council and Warminster Town Council as we move our application through the planning process.”

The application delivers on the continued extension of the Linear Park, including active travel links and a play area. It will also complete the full length of the central spine road, connecting the previously approved sections from the two new junctions.

Significant financial contributions would also be made towards education provision, bus services connecting the scheme with the town centre, signal upgrades to improve vehicle movements in the town centre and health care in Warminster
