Why are so many office blocks in Swindon being targeted for conversion to flats by property developers? At least nine have been the subject of such applications under permitted development rights in the last three years – and most of them have been given that permission. Buildings set to be converted include the UK Life Centre in the town centre, Kingsbridge Point in Regent Circus, Wiltshire Court in Farnsby Street, Cherry Orchard West in Kembrey Business Park, the offices above the shop in the art deco building at the end of Bridge Street, North Star House, and 103-104 Commercial Road and the unconverted portion of Centenary House in Victoria Road. Half of the last building had been already made into flats.

Horpit Farm WANBOROUGH: An open barn and the lean-to shed attached could be made into an intriguing home. Farmer J Joseph, who runs Horpit Farm in Wanborough (pictured), has applied for permission to convert one of his hay barns into a four-bedroom house. The curved structure of the main barn would be retained as would the lean-to, but the open sides and front of the barns would be enclosed. The front of the new home would be formed by the lean-to, and almost the entirety of that new front wall would feature glass doors. The four bedrooms, all en-suite, would be in the taller Dutch barn.
