New Local Plan

We are preparing a new Swindon Local Plan to guide growth and development across the borough to 2043, with a wider vision to 2055.

On adoption, the Swindon Local Plan 2043 will replace the current Swindon Local Plan 2026. It will form a key part of the development plan for the borough. The Local Plan sets out:

  • housing and employment needs and where development should take place
  • policies to guide development and decisions on planning applications
  • infrastructure and transport requirements
  • how we will protect and enhance the environment
  • how sustainable growth will support residents, businesses and communities

The proposed plan period is 2023 to 2043.
