Prior to sale of the site, the Ministry of Defence obtained planning consent for the redevelopment of Erskine Barracks. The planning consent secured the principle for 450 homes and employment uses on 3 hectares adjacent to the railway. The land set aside for employment is for office units in a business park setting. It would also accommodate a small retail unit and community space (500m² in total). The planning consent is in ‘outline’ i.e it establishes the principles of the quantum of development, its general location etc. If this consent is taken forward, then further planning submissions would be made to define the design in greater detail.

ERSKINE BARRACKS Proposals for Redevelopment Character Areas Wilton Hill Salisbury Road GARDEN SUBURB The area of the site to the south of the railway line and to the north of Salisbury Road is visually well contained and screened from the main road by a substantial tree belt. SALISBURY ROAD KEY PLAN Indicative Housetype Character This part of the site borders the Wilton Conservation Area and it is proposed that the housing and retirement village will draw on the local vernacular of Wilton to inform its architectural character. This could include the distinctive palette of local Wilton materials including: • ‘Chequerboard’ flintwork • Buff and red brick Recent Redrow Development at Downton • Local buff coloured stone. Architectural Character of Wilton Wilton Hill Garden Suburb To the north of the railway line the land rises steeply and this sets this area of the site visually apart from the Wilton Conservation area. The housing in this part of the site could have its own distinctive character informed by the landscape setting and inspired by the ‘Garden’ towns and villages of the early 20th century. The key characteristics could include: • Low density predominantly family housing. • Larger gardens, strongly landscaped streets and green areas. • A distinctive place with a traditional architectural character inspired by the Arts & Crafts period, utilising a palette of local materials.
