Won’t all these modern ideas be out of place in an historic setting like Salisbury?
We were really surprised during the consultations to see how many local people have stressed the need to be bold and visionary. That does not have to be at the expense of the city’s visible heritage. In fact it can be more helpful sometimes to provide contrast than to copy. Norwich, Chester and York for example show how well contemporary development can complement and enhance historic settings. The Salisbury Vision suggests that we make the most of our heritage by uncovering more of it and the ‘Nuggs 1268’ building on the corner of Blue Boar Row is a good example of how this can be achieved.
