CABE Hits Swindon

The government architectural watchdog, CABE, has given
Swindon a hard time over two of its development projects.
It has called for a design rethink on the £100 million housing led development of the Swindon College site because of its concerns about the plans from Ashfield Land and Parkridge.
CABE said: “This is a unique opportunity to create a new piece of town and improve the connection between the old
town and the new and help raise the profile of Swindon.”
It also criticised plans by Swindon Gateway Partnership for a large housing and community scheme and an extension to the Great Western Hospital site near Coate Water Country Park. One part of the town’s regeneration that is going ahead is the green walls feature as part of the Public Realm Works for a new look Canal Walk. They will cover the south side of the bridge that connects the Brunel Plaza with the Brunel Arcade and the north side of the bridge. Green walls are living, planted structures that continuously change and evolve as the plants grow and mature within them.
