Description

The site is located within the jurisdiction of Swindon Borough Council and the land is owned by Stonewater Limited. It consists of an open area of unused green space with outline planning for 30 new affordable homes. The site extends to 0.94 hectares and is located within Langton Park, Wroughton, south of Swindon. The site is located on a former Royal Air Force (RAF) Base and is situated approximately 2km (1.3 miles) south of Wroughton town centre with Swindon town centre approximately 6.5km (4 miles) from the site.

The development is to consist of:
12 No. 2 Bed Dwellings @ 76m2
14 No. 3 Bed Dwellings @ 86m2
4 No. 1 Bed Flats @ 50m2

Outline Planning has been granted for the site on December 2022 - Application No S/OUT/21/1634/TB and reserved matters have been submitted in December 2023.

At this stage of the process, Stonewater are yet to decide on the construction approach for this site. A number of options are being considered, which are detailed below:

• Timber frame
• Traditional methods of Construction
• Volumetric - where the Tendering Contractor will be responsible for the site works and overall commissioning and the volumetric solution delivered through a nominated sub-contractor. The Tendering Contractor would be the Principal Contractor in this situation.
• Volumetric - potentially manufactured, supplied and installed by the Tendering Contractor.

As part of expressing interest in this project, we encourage all prospective bidders to outline their thoughts on the above options and declare the approach for delivery they would take. Responses on this point will be used by Stonewater and their wider project team to shape the best way to deliver the site and appoint a contractor through a competitive process.

Site plans are available and are attached to this notice.
