Swindon Borough Council is considering several new planning applications, including a proposal to build five flats behind Victoria Road in Old Town.
A series of new planning applications has been lodged with Swindon Borough Council, spanning from residential extensions to proposals for new housing. Residents and neighbours are now able to view these plans and submit their comments as the proposals move through the formal review process.
Among the most significant submissions is a proposal for the erection of five new flats under use Class C3 on land to the rear of 151-152 Victoria Road in Old Town. The application, filed under reference S/26/1287, was validated on 19 October and is currently pending a decision.
The council is also considering a variety of household and business development requests across the borough:
