Plans have been drawn up for 20 small units on the 35-acre Hawke Ridge Business Park between Trowbridge and Westbury offering smaller firms the chance to relocate to the area’s newest business location.
Developer Bath-based HPH Commercial Property has submitted a detailed planning application to Wiltshire Council for the scheme, to be called Kestrel Court, with units ranging from 1,500 sq ft to 5,500 sq ft. 
There will also be parking for 99 vehicles, secure parking for 20 bicycles and electric vehicle charging points. All business units are being offered either for sale or to rent.
The plans have been lodged with the council at the same time as a roadside scheme at the front of the park - which will eventually become one of the region’s largest developments of its kind – has received planning approval.
When complete the scheme, pictured in a CGI image, will include a small convenience store, a drive-through, three retail and takeaway units and associated parking.
HPH said it hoped to announce the first new occupiers later this year.
Development director Chris Wordsworth said: “This new element of Hawke Ridge Business Park was designed in response to local and commercial demand. We are very pleased to be incorporating these much-needed facilities into our development.
“The inclusion of a roadside scheme will provide important amenities not just for the new occupiers at Hawke Ridge but the existing local workforce in the area. Westbury has an unusually large employment base and we are aiming to support the needs of local businesses.”
Detailed planning permission has already been secured for four larger business units varying in size from 8,700 sq ft to 36,300 sq ft with a total area of 72,300 sq ft.
