Wichelstowe Community Development - Interdisciplinary Design Services
Developers Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes partnered with the Swindon Borough Council to create a mixed-use development on approximately 200 acres (80.9 hectares). They engaged our interdisciplinary team to help design and deliver this new community.
We began by carrying out earthworks studies for the Council to determine existing ground conditions and complete investigations into restoration of the Wilts and Berks Canal that crosses the site. The Council then appointed us to consult on transport, highways, and engineering design for the development.
Our architects and landscape designers developed various design codes for the housing portion of the scheme and planned out key routes in the transport network for residents travelling across the development. Following successful planning approval, the design codes were used to develop proposals for housing parcels, taking the initial concepts and translating them into detailed and deliverable designs.
When finished, the development will include up to 4,500 homes, employment space, shopping, community facilities for residents, and schools. It will also include play spaces, pedestrian and cycling routes, community orchards and allotments, and the designation of some key streets as green corridors.
