Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is in a suitable location, with particular regard to the Wiltshire spatial strategy
  • The effect of the traffic generated by the development on the rural setting, and on the character and amenities of the town of Cricklade
  • Whether the development reduces the rate of rainwater run-off and improves water infiltration to soil and ground
  • The effect of the development on the rural character of the surrounding area

What decided it

The appeal site's location within the designated Chelworth Commercial Area under the Neighbourhood Plan meant the development was in a suitable location and the modest increase in HGV traffic would not have an unacceptable impact on Cricklade's character or amenities.
