The Fraser Centre, Faraday Road, Swindon
Permission has been granted for this building to be demolished. The Fraser Centre once provided data and IT support for the department store group House of Fraser. It has been in decline since 2010 when the IT function was outsourced. It finally became empty in 2020. A property company has been granted planning permission to demolish the building in advance of the erection of seven General industrial (use class B2)/ Storage or distribution (use class B8)/ Commercial, business and service (use class E) units successfully arguing that no future use for the existing building could be identified.
