Salisbury Square Development

The City of London Corporation has identified a unique opportunity to create modern facilities for both the City of London Police and Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) in the heart of the historic Square Mile.

 

On Thursday 22 April 2021, a special planning sub-committee of the City Corporation approved resolution to grant planning permission and listed building consent for the Salisbury Square Development.
