"This is going to be a major development bringing much-needed new homes to the Swindon area; we are delighted that we will be providing the affordable homes in this first phase, and helping to meet the housing needs of the local population," said Sarah Griffin, Sovereign’s Regional Head of Development.

"We already have a strong presence in Swindon and Wiltshire and it is a priority for us to look to bring more high-quality affordable homes to this area."

Eighteen of the homes that Sovereign is providing are being built by Persimmon and 14 by Redrow.
