Haydon Wick flooding in 2007 Haydon Wick – originally small village distinct from Swindon – was part of the rapid post-war expansion of the town in the latter half of the 20th century. Now it is one of the town’s inner suburbs, with Priory Vale and Blunsdon St Andrew forming the outer boundary of the borough further north and west. It’s an area of modern family homes designed in the fashion of the late 20th century with lots of cul-de-sacs coming off curving primary roads. It has the highest density of any ward in North Swindon – more than even the older Victorian areas of ranks of terraced streets.
Paxton House
Old Town: Work may soon start on converting a three storey-office block just off Victoria Road into 24 flats. Segrue Investments already has permitted development approval to convert Paxton House, pictured, the modern block next to the car park, into the apartments and it has lodged a notification of change of use. The conversion over three floors will house three two-bedroom flats, 10 single-bed flats and 11 studio flats.
Chiseldon: The Unicorn Business Park in the village near Wroughton could be expanding. Classical Properties has applied for permission to put up five new units at the park just off the Ridgeway.
