Regulation 18 Consultation
Swindon Borough Council are currently preparing a new Local Plan that will guide the future growth and development in the Borough to 2043 (with a wider vision to 2055). This Plan will provide the strategic vision for the Borough focusing on housing, employment, infrastructure, transport and the environment, aiming to ensure sustainable growth that meets the needs of residents, businesses and the local community.
As part of the plan-making progress, a Regulation 18 Consultation was carried out between Monday 1 September 2025 and Monday 13 October 2025 as the first formal stage of consultation in developing the new Local Plan. This provided an opportunity for key stakeholders including local residents, businesses, developers and landowners to review our proposals and put forward their own comments and suggestions for the contents of the Plan.
This consultation is now closed and officers are processing the representations received. Representations and a Consultation Statement will be published in due course.
Documents
Key consultation documents, including the draft Regulation 18 Local Plan, proposed Policies Map (and insets), and evidence documents are still available to view in the links on the right of this page.
Call for Sites
Alongside the Regulation 18 Local Plan we will held an additional call for sites to allow stakeholders, in particular landowners, developers and agents, to put forward sites or broad areas in the Borough for future development.
Engagement Sessions
We are also held engagement sessions for residents and other interested parties who would like to discuss the proposals with us. Details for these events can be found to the right of this page.
