Construction News Image
A milestone has been marked on the new St. Modwen Park Chippenham development.

St. Modwen and Winvic have begun work on site, which will see a 106,000 sq ft speculative unit developed.

The site, formerly known as Chippenham Gateway, secured planning permission from Wiltshire Council in August 2018 and has permission to build a variety of units ranging from 100,000 sq ft to 1,000,000 sq ft on the 79-acre site.

Once completed, the whole site is expected to create around 1,300 jobs once complete as well as skills, training and apprenticeship opportunities through a planned partnership with Wiltshire College.
