Welcome

Acorn Property Group is proud to bring forward exciting new plans for an ambitious transformation of Emery Gate shopping centre, breathing new life into the heart of the town.


Chippenham Riverside, our new development at Emery Gate, represents the next chapter in this legacy, with an ambitious transformation that will breathing new life into the heart of the town.

Our Vision

Our vision for Emery Gate is to provide more than just an updated shopping centre.

This project is a catalyst for positive change, a symbol of Chippenham’s evolution into a destination in its own right, breaking away from the image of a commuter town for Bristol or London.

We have worked incredibly hard to ensure that our emerging proposals reflect the aspirations of the town and its residents, aligning as closely as possible with the Chippenham One Plan and Neighbourhood Plan. We are excited to play a part in the future of the town.

Following our first consultation event earlier this year, we have refined and further developed our proposals, incorporating the helpful and insightful feedback received. On 14th September, we will present more detailed plans at our second public consultation event, which will help us to finalise the plans for submission to Wiltshire Council.

If you wish to speak to a member of the team, please get in touch via the details listed at the bottom of this page.

The Site

The site is located in the centre of Chippenham and is a key pillar of the local high street.

However, we’re continuing to see a decline in footfall at traditional shopping centres and Emery Gate is unfortunately no different, with Tesco only the latest casualty. We can’t hope that the retail sector turns the clock back 25 years.

We have to do something different and embark upon a radical programme of change to secure Emery Gate’s future and support the rejuvenation of Chippenham town centre.
