Drone photographs taken by Jason Spickett, who goes by Swindon From The Air on facebook show the rapid progress at King George Park, part of the wider Lotmead development within the New Eastern Villages programme.
The images capture former farmland now lined with new streets and rooftops, offering one of the clearest views yet of the scale of the scheme.
The New Eastern Villages, known as the NEV, covers around 724 hectares of land to the east of the A419 and is expected to deliver approximately 8,000 homes.
It is one of the largest greenfield developments currently planned in England.
Plans also include around 40 hectares of employment land, approximately 12,000 square metres of retail space, a new secondary school, several primary schools, healthcare facilities and sports provision.
The masterplan sets out a series of village-style neighbourhoods rather than one continuous housing estate.
These include Lotmead, Redlands, Great Stall East, Great Stall West, Rowborough and the expansion of South Marston.
At Lotmead alone, permission allows for up to 2,500 homes, alongside two primary schools, sports facilities, community buildings and green corridors.
The first phase at King George Park will provide 214 homes, 61 of which are designated as affordable housing.
A key part of the wider scheme is the Southern Connector Road.
The 1.5-mile route is designed to link the development directly to Commonhead Roundabout and the Great Western Hospital area, reducing pressure on existing village roads.
Traffic and infrastructure have been among the most debated aspects of the project.
Residents in Wanborough, Bishopstone and South Marston have previously raised concerns about the impact on countryside, village identity and local services.
Plans also include extensive green infrastructure. Proposals feature a large nature park centred on the River Cole floodplain, walking and cycling routes, sports pitches, allotments and biodiversity areas.
The safeguarded route of the historic Wilts and Berks Canal runs through the site, with long-term protection in place for potential restoration.
For years, the New Eastern Villages existed largely in planning documents and consultation papers.
Now, as bricks and roads continue to appear, the future shape of eastern Swindon is becoming increasingly visible.
