Salisbury Plain and Stonehenge bring military and World Heritage considerations, and nutrient neutrality advice has affected the River Avon catchment around Salisbury. The M4 corridor around Swindon and Chippenham and the rail lines through Westbury and Trowbridge focus much of the area's growth.
What decides whether a site in Chippenham works
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
Neighbouring businesses
Homes next to noisy uses may need mitigation or may not be acceptable.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 76 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
