Swindon Borough Council is inviting public feedback on a range of new planning proposals, including home extensions, garden structures, and tree works across the borough.
Swindon Borough Council has opened a public consultation period for 12 planning applications submitted across the local area. The proposals range from significant residential extensions to environmental works within protected conservation areas, and residents are being encouraged to review the details and submit their comments to the local authority.
