THIS is the first look a how a controversial bid for hundreds of homes in Swindon could look. Property developer One Swindon has put in a formal application to build 368 flats and houses the Sidings site running alongside the railway line between Rodbourne Road and Wootton Bassett Road. But nearby residents say they will fight the bid. They say the land is not suitable for housing as it is contaminated and is now an urban nature reserve – habitat to deer, badgers, otters, bats and a host of smaller animals like slow worms. One Swindon’s plans would see a series of low-rise blocks put up along the south side of the railway line behind Dean Street, Newburn Crescent, and the park alongside. The development would be a mix of flats and houses with car access from Wootton Bassett Road and the plans include a shop and café.

Homes site polluted Back in December 2018 Swindon Borough Council Planners ruled that Swindon’s Newburn Sidings ‘oasis of wildlife’ which had been earmarked for a possible 400 home development, did not require an environmental impact assessment before a planning application could be made. The Council subsequently informed ‘One Swindon Limited’ who is behind current planning proposal for the site that it would ‘not give rise to unusually complex or significant environmental effects that would warrant an EIA, considering that the site is previously developed land and that no development would be within the flood plain’.
