A prominent former car dealership in Wiltshire could be demolished and replaced with a new three-storey self-storage facility

December 1, 2023: The Islington Vauxhall Garage on the A4 Bath Road into Chippenham, near the Methuen Park roundabout, closed earlier this year. In August, the site was bought by Cinch Self Storage which has unveiled a plan to demolish the existing garage building and construct a purpose-built self-storage facility.

This proposal is currently in its early stages, and the firm has launched a consultation website to gather feedback from residents ahead of finalising a planning application. 

Cinch plans to construct a 5,394sq metre facility, which will be three storeys high, to provide “modern and attractive” storage units of various sizes for residents and businesses.

The new building would align with the site’s southern boundary, along Bath Road, and Cinch says the ridge height will be “broadly consistent” with the nearest residential properties.

Existing vehicle access from Hereford Close would be retained.
