The official route plans for the Chippenham distributor road, which have sparked controversy across the town since the public consultation opened People and councillors in Chippenham have been having their say on the Future Chippenham road routes and what each will mean for the future of the town. Residents asked about the types of crossings the routes would use, the transparency of the town council in supporting the bid, and the risk to floods in the areas marked for development in the Local Plan Review. Local climate activist Adrian Temple Brown said the public consultation on the scheme should be stopped, claiming the paperwork available only contained one-third of the information, lacking both a carbon emissions budget and the estimated environmental impact.

Master plan for 26 entry-level houses on Low Lane in Calne Outline plans for 26 houses on Low Lane in Calne have been approved. The outline bid for 26 entry-level houses by Robert Hitchins Ltd was called in to be examined by the Northern Area Board by Cllr Ian Thorn. While a full planning application is yet to be submitted, this bid related to creating vehicle access from Low Lane. Currently 160 letters have been sent to the council objecting to the proposals. In public participation, residents said the reduced visibility proposed would create hazardous conditions for cyclists and walkers using Low Lane. Chairman of Calne Town Council’s Planning and Development committee, Glenis Ansell urged the committee to reject the bid.
