Quote from the North Wiltshire Retail needs assesment study:
In assessing expenditure growth, we have applied the ONS 2004 based population forecasts 5 for North Wiltshire, West Wiltshire and Kennet, having allocated each of our nine household survey zones to the district in which all or the majority of the population in that zone falls (see Spreadsheet Table 1). Thus, the population change in each zone is as set out in Spreadsheet Table 2. For the catchment area as a whole, the population is projected to grow from 183,335 in 2007, to 203,821 in 2026, a growth of 11.2%. The fastest growing zone is Melksham which is located in West Wiltshire District.

In answer to the question in the title - "Yes, probably". Which is why a decent fast public transport service to surrounding areas is needed.
