A controversial development between the M4 and the existing southern limit of Swindon is underway. The official name is Wichelstowe, more commonly called 'The Front Garden' development. The controversy arises partly because the land is quite low-lying and gets a bit wet sometimes, partly nimbyism and partly concern on the part of the neighbouring town of Wootton Bassett to the west, about the continuing expansion of Swindon towards the smaller town. The bridge in the distance can be seen at an earlier state of construction here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/596922
