ASDA is planning to open a Foodstore at Solstice Park.

A public engagement exhibition was held on 11th May 2007 at The Baptist Centre, Amesbury. The event was extremely well supported with over 800 people showing their support for plans to build a new ASDA store in Amesbury. The location of the store is adjacent to a substantial residential area to the eastern part of Amesbury, direct pedestrian and cycle routes will link the store.

A planning application was submitted to Salisbury District Council on the 1st November 2007; the application includes highway improvements and alterations to the roundabout at the Junction of Porton Road and Sunrise Way, to increase its capacity.
