A huge housing development will fill the space between Warminster and its bypass to the west of the town. The allocation starts around Folly Farm and extends across to Bath Road, with a thin buffer between the houses and the A36 and an additional employment area west of Bath Road opposite the Crusader Park area.

Trowbridge, along with Chippenham and Salisbury, is seen as being a major centre of housing and employment growth. However the town can't simply expand in all directions - there is Green Belt to the west, and a requirement to avoid swallowing up Southwick, North Bradley and Hilperton prevents too much expansion in their directions.
Discussions are taking place about the future of the former site of Trinity School or Kenton Lodge in Kenton Road. West Gosforth ward councillors and residents want the original main building to be protected from demolition and Council officers advise that this suggestion is being incorporated into a development brief. The brief will indicate what sort of uses would be appropriate for the building and surrounding grounds. The ownership of the building currently lies with the City Council. One option being investigated is for the site to be used as accommodation for older people before any decision on marketing the site for sale is made.
