Number 3, High Street, is a derelict Grade-II listed building which was built by Edward Cockey in 1731. Similar plans for demolition were resubmitted by Rosebray Developments Ltd in 2022 and have remained under consultation, but Warminster Town Council now say enough is enough. “There is no doubt that the entire population of Warminster would like to see the current building gone,” said Tom Dommett, Warminster Town Clerk. The Grade-II listed building is privately owned, and the current planning application to demolish the site and rebuild is still pending a decision. Residents must now patiently wait until January 8, 2024, to see if the current owner repairs the building as required or if further legal action must be taken.
