Baxter Green Architects worked with Chicklade Estate to develop Chicklade Service Station, Chicklade, Wiltshire. The proposed development aimed to provide a contemporary and exciting facility for local residents and users of the A303, set within an attractive landscape and providing high-quality regeneration to this prominent site.

The design and approach was widely praised, ‘The proposals involve the redevelopment of the site with a modern contemporary building that will provide an innovative and exciting appearance to the site. The curved main service building is to have sweeping roofs, and an unusual footprint providing interest to the architectural vernacular and character of the site. The materials are of good quality, using natural stone and timber along with full height glazing, all of which are considered to be sympathetic to and in keeping with the rural character of the area.’ Planning officers report
