Kingsdown Success
We are delighted to announce that the Kingsdown development at Swindon secured a resolution to permit at planning committee last night.
The project will deliver:
Working closely with the Local Authority and consultees, the application has gone through various iterations to ensure the proposals are well designed, providing a distinctive, attractive and accessible place. All new homes at Kingsdown will be zero-carbon ready, powered by air source heat pumps, have solar panels and come with electric vehicle charging points.
For Brookbanks, the planning application was managed by our Paul Boileau on behalf of Persimmon Homes and Primegate Properties.
We’re looking forward to moving the project into delivery.

Brookbanks Podcast #22: Planning, Engineering & Reality
August 4, 2026
Development projects often begin with a clear vision, a well-considered masterplan and ambitious objectives for the future of a site. As schemes progress, planning, infrastructure, engineering and commercial considerations all play a role in shaping how that vision is ultimately delivered. In the latest episode of the Brookbanks Podcast, Lee Witts, Group Director, and Richard Moorcroft, Chief Technical Officer, discuss the relationship between planning aspirations and delivery realities, exploring how projects evolve as they move through the development lifecycle. Drawing on their experience across planning, infrastructure and project delivery, Lee and Richard share their perspectives on why plans can sometimes look different on paper than they do when a scheme reaches delivery, and how greater collaboration between disciplines can help create stronger outcomes for clients and stakeholders.
