Wiltshire Local Development Framework Figure 3.0.1 Wiltshire community areas and settlement hierarchy 17
Wiltshire Local Development Framework 3.1 Chippenham community area 3.1.1 Chippenham is the one of the largest towns in Wiltshire. It is located between Bath and Swindon and is four miles south of the M4 motorway. The town functions as an important employment centre and has attracted a number of large employers. This is owed in part to the town’s access to major road and rail networks. Chippenham lies close to the M4, A4, A420 and A350 giving easy access to Swindon, Bath and Bristol as well as further afield. The town also has a railway station located on the mainline between London Paddington and the West Country. Chippenham also functions as a service centre for the north Wiltshire rural area and provides a range of community facilities, shops and services. 3.1.2 For Chippenham to continue to function as one of the strategically significant towns in Wiltshire, an important objective should be for the town to grow, therefore enhancing its role as an employment centre. Some regeneration and redevelopment is also needed to ensure Chippenham remains as an attractive place to live and work. 3.1.3 There are several other settlements within the community area, which include Christian Malford, Hullavington, Kingston St Michael and Yatton Keynell. However, as Chippenham performs the main service centre role, it is anticipated that these villages only have capacity to accommodate modest levels of development, to deliver local housing need, and to support rural services increasing their self-containment.
