Parish Summary The parish of Sutton Benger is in Chippenham Community Area within the local authority area of Wiltshire. • There is a population of 1,057 according to the 2011 Census, comprised of 415 households.1 • The parish of Sutton Benger stretches from the hamlet of Draycot Cerne in the west, through the village of Sutton Benger to the River Avon in the east, and from the Stanton Household Recycling Centre & Chippenham Pit Stop in the north, to the National Trust's sites of Special Scientific Interest and County Wildlife in the south. • The medieval village layout of a High Street and parallel Back Lane (now Chestnut Road) and a staggered cross roads beside the 13th Century Parish Church, All Saints, formed by Seagry Road and Bell Lane is still clearly visible, even with the addition of a large housing estate that doubled the size of the village in the 1970s. A further 25% increase in housing stock (85 homes) is currently being constructed upon the previous 'chicken factory' site. With another 41 houses awaiting planning application decisions, the size of the village is set to increase further. • The village straddles the B4069 (Chippenham to Lyneham road) and is in close proximity to junction 17 of the M4, giving easy access to Swindon, Bath and Bristol, as well as benefitting from the more local amenities either in Chippenham to the south west or Malmesbury in the north.

  • FAO Mr Lee Burman, Development Management, Wiltshire County Council
    From: Bill Ford Sent: 28 August 2017 22:21 To: Developmentmanagement Subject: Planning Reference 17/03417/OUT FAO Mr Lee Burman, Development Management, Wiltshire County Council. From William Ford, The Grey House, Draycot Cerne, SN15 5LD 28th August 2017 Dear Mr Burman, I am writing to re confirm my OBJECTION to the planning application 17/03417/OUT following my review of the revisions to the original application by St Modwen. St Modwen have clearly taken advantage of the intervening period of over three months since the first deadline for submission of comments to develop their application to try and deflect some of the concerns expressed about the original plans. It seems to be a quirk of the planning system that by comparison with St Modwen we have been allowed only 14 days to look at a further tranche of substantial documents. However despite the revisions and further embellishments, the basic plan to deliver c. 1 million of B8 storage remains unchanged and my objections outlined in my first letter of objection dated May 5th therefore remain. I do however want to make the following further comments. 1. I am confident that you have the experience in planning applications to see past some of St Modwens tactics and the rosy picture that they try and paint. I am concerned however by the licence that they take and the gross inaccuracies and factual errors in so much of their work. For example in para 14 of the response to Spatial Planning they say 'Furthermore, it (jct 17) represents the only motorway junction within Wiltshire.......'.

  • Online Comments
    Online Comments Application No 17/03417/OUT I OBJECT to this application for the following reasons. 1. There has been no consultation with the local village residents as far as I am aware. 2. The impact on the size/height of the unit is not in keeping with the environment. How can it even be considered that a building the largest in Europe is acceptable in a designated small village. 3. The impact on the environment to wildlife is a concern on this greenfield site particularly with the brook which has its source on the site. With a site this large the run off could cause increase to flooding to the road B4122 near to Draycot Park and also affect the village of Sutton Benger. 4. The noise and light pollution will be considerably increased on a site this size. The reversing indicators on lorries (beeping) will travel to the neighbouring village residents. Comments: 5. Traffic is already a concern through the villages of Kington Langley, Draycot Cerne and Sutton Benger. The air pollution will be compromised. With the villages being used as a cut through in busy times to avoid the A roads in the area that become congested. This will be a danger to the residents in the villages. 6. The M4 slip roads are already congested onto the main roads of the M4 during peak periods. With the Dyson project on the North side of the M4 progressing however is a further development even considered viable without causing further traffic chaos. 7. It has to be asked who wants these units and why is there a need to build when there is already agreed planning on Junction 15 near Swindon that has not progressed due to no takers for the units.
