Peter Colmer, chairman of the Northern Area Planning Committee for Wiltshire Council, said: "We know there's a need but the application must meet other considerations as well."
Among the factors that will be considered before a vote takes place is the potential impact on the appearance and character of the local area, as well as how the Human Rights Act affects the proposal.
