Ward councillor Patrick Schneider said: "We as a parish council welcome this decision.
"The new police hub will increase safety in our parish, across Salisbury, and throughout the wider region.
"It transforms this land into a functional community asset and provides our police with a modern base from which to strengthen their visible presence across South Wiltshire."
The site is already allocated for commercial and employment use and is expected to host a modern, fit-for-purpose police facility.
Cllr Cindy Vanstone said the hub responds to long-standing concerns from residents.
She said: "As a former Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator, I am particularly pleased to see Wiltshire Police responding to long-standing calls from communities north of Salisbury for a stronger police presence.
"Locating the hub within Laverstock and Ford Parish will provide welcome reassurance for our residents while improving community safety across Southern Wiltshire."
Cllr Ian McDonald said community feedback would play a key role as plans move forward.
He said: "We look forward to seeing the designs for the new hub next year, when residents and the parish council will have the opportunity to comment as part of the planning application process."
