A development project at M4 junction 17 in Wiltshire awaits a council decision by May 15, 2026, amid traffic and environmental concerns.
A proposed industrial and logistics development at M4 junction 17 in Chippenham, Wiltshire, is pending a decision by Wiltshire Council, with a new deadline set for May 15, 2026, after missing an earlier January 30 deadline.
The project, submitted in March 2025, faces delays due to a National Highways request for an extended six-month review starting October 2025.
Local opposition is growing over concerns about increased traffic on the M4 roundabout and surrounding roads, potential road damage, and heightened light pollution, especially near the Indurent Park site.
While the applicant, Stoford Alderley, says a transport assessment supports the plan with proposed improvements like signal-controlled junctions and widened lanes, the council’s economic development team backs the project, but the final decision remains pending amid ongoing scrutiny.
