Place names of Calne: The Gardens

The Gardens, Calne

The Gardens is a name well used for streets that are built upon or next to allotment gardens. Which would make sense with The Gardens, which borders what was a large allotments, these days it is much smaller. However, in this case the name, which was decided in 2013[1], was chosen because this development is quite literally built in the back gardens of four different properties.


The Gardens, a collection of 2 and 3 bedroom properties, was built by Hannick Homes, a company based in Swindon. After the demolition of a single dwelling on Lickhill Road, ten houses with access were given planning permission in 2007. An additional application was granted in 2012 to allow two additional houses to be built, increasing the development to twelve dwellings[2].
