About the Development
The Wichelstowe development in Swindon is a joint venture between Swindon Borough Council and Barratt David Wilson Homes. As well as residential homes, the project will provide important community infrastructure and green space.
There will also be new schools, community facilities and recreational areas. You’ll notice lots of open space, nature conservation areas, play areas and sports pitches, and allotments – all central to a sustainable community. Find out more about Wichelstowe

If you’d like to apply to rent a home on this new development, you’ll need to make sure you’re registered with Swindon Borough Council first.
Once your application has been assessed and is active, you can apply for properties as they are advertised, as long as you meet the criteria.

Moving in?
We understand it can be challenging settling into a developing community so we want to sign post you to other services and facilities that you can use in the meantime. While your new community continues to evolve, if you can’t find something to suit your needs, there are other services and facilities locally that you can use instead.
