Wiltshire Council is reviewing a proposed industrial site at M4 junction 17, with a decision due December 18, amid traffic concerns and updated transport plans.
Wiltshire Council is reviewing a proposal to build a large industrial and logistics site at M4 junction 17 near Chippenham, with a decision due by December 18.
The plan, submitted by Stoford Alderley in March, faces opposition over traffic concerns on the M4, A350, A429, and local roads.
National Highways recommended a six-month delay for further study, leading the applicant to submit updated transport plans featuring signal-controlled junctions, lane widening, and improved pedestrian access.
While local groups remain skeptical about congestion and road damage, the council’s economic development team backs the project for its potential to create jobs, attract investment, and support regional growth, pending environmental and planning approvals.
A public consultation on the revised plans ended in November.
