Proposals
Masterplan
Proposal 1 – Residential Neighbourhood
The former Abbey Stadium, located at Lady Lane, is currently an under-utilised piece of brownfield (previously developed) land situated in an area which has seen significant development over the past decade. The site is conveniently located adjacent to the A419, providing access to the Cotswolds and the M5 to the north-west and the M4 to the south-east.
With the permanent end of its former use as a speedway and greyhound track, there is a significant opportunity to transform the site and deliver much-needed new homes for Swindon.
The proposal includes the following provisions:
- Approximately 130 new homes providing a mix of one and two-bedroom flats and two-, three-, and four-bedroom houses
- A landscape-led approach with the creation of new, accessible green spaces, connected by a central avenue through the site
- Parking spaces for residents and visitors
- Sustainability and energy efficiency measures to deliver a fossil fuel free site
Proposal 2 – The Abbey Community Hub
The northern part of the site will be redeveloped as a community hub for local residents, community groups, and small businesses.
The proposed Abbey Community Hub will create modern community spaces, with provisions for food outlets, leisure and sport facilities, events, activities, and flexible workspaces for independent and micro-businesses.
We want to hear from local residents on what facilities you would like to see delivered on-site – please submit your suggestions by visiting the ‘Contact’ page.
The proposal includes the following provisions:
- Convenience Store
- Micro Takeaway and Retail units
- Community Café
- Micro Office/Commercial units
- Sports Club facilities
- Community Self Storage
- Community Multi-Function Space
- Parking spaces for visitors
- Sustainability and energy efficiency measures including solar PV panels and grey water reuse
