What happened
Salisbury City Council formally objected to Persimmon Homes' revised blueprint for up to 220 properties north of Downton Road in Harnham. The city council's planning and development committee maintained its objections on September 21, citing concerns over flooding, drainage, highway impacts, and site access. The scheme includes 40 per cent affordable housing.
Why it matters
The objection raises questions regarding the viability of the housing project, which has faced resistance since 2025. The primary concern cited by councillors is the unresolved risk of flooding and drainage issues in the area.
