Work is now
underway on the first properties in The Orchards and Wichel Fields areas of
Wichelstowe and planning permission is now being sought to expand both areas
and provide additional homes within the central Canalside area.
Four detailed
applications outlining plans for 616 proposed new homes at Wichelstowe will be
submitted to Swindon Borough Council over the next month.
One of the largest local authority joint venture agreements in the country, the Wichelstowe development is being built by Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes in partnership with Swindon Borough Council.
