Swindon is identified as one of the key economic drivers within
the region and is expected to play a particularly important role to
accommodate growth.

The challenge is to bring a transformation of the town through the
regeneration of the town centre, the delivery of high quality housing
opportunities at Swindon (rather than in surrounding villages), and
the expansion of new employment opportunities in knowledge
based industries.

Through the active promotion of David Lock Associates and other
key stakeholders, the Core Strategy commits to the region’s largest
urban extension to the east of the town – some 7,500 dwellings.
David Lock Associates, as master planners and planners, are
leading the delivery of a high quality urban extension that is
integrated with the town and complementary to the plans for the
transformation of the town’s existing neighbourhoods and town
centre.

Critical to the success and early implementation of the “Eastern
Villages” is the development of a planning framework within which
planning applications may be progressed and the considerable
infrastructure requirements planned and committed. Partnership
working to develop innovative means of infrastructure funding will
be a key feature of the project.

RSS 9 identified Salden Chase as an area
to deliver 5,390 homes directly abutting
Milton Keynes but in the district of Aylesbury
Vale. As a result, the project has drawn
upon our full range of planning, master
planning, graphics, negotiation and project
management skills.

For the 300ha of rolling farmland that forms
Salden Chase we ran a year long series of
extensive stakeholder, statutory consultees,
Parish Council and community consultation
events. With officer support this has led
to the preparation of a hybrid planning
application for a mixed use development
scheme which delivers the housing
aspirations for both Milton Keynes and
Aylesbury Vale District Council whilst also
addressing the commercial, cultural, leisure
and community priorities identified by local
interest groups and the local residents.

As a result of our concurrent negotiations
with the lead planning authority, Aylesbury
Vale District Council, our work has led to
the site being identified within the emerging
Local Development Framework.
