A planning application for a rebuilt Oasis Centre is expected before the end of 2024 according to the site’s owners Seven Capital.

And the company has launched a new website to be able to show those plans when they are available and get feedback from residents.

Seven Capital, better known as a housing developer, is the de facto owner of the Oasis Centre, holding about 90 years left of a 99-year lease.

The site at swindonoasis.co.uk is two simple pages at the moment, with a form to fill in to provide Seven Capital with details such as name, phone number and email address.

A spokesman for the company said: “The planning submission will be in line with the development agreement between Seven Capital and Swindon Borough Council and is expected later this year.

“Once plans have been submitted the website will be populated with information for residents to view in their own time and provide feedback via an online form should they be unable or prefer not to attend in-person consultation events.

“Further information on planning submission and subsequent consultation dates and venue will be provided in due course.”

The target for re-opening the new centre is 2026, the 50th anniversary of its opening.
