Work will involve construction of 23 new private town houses in an area dominated by new apartment developments,

The Bacon Lane scheme will be delivered in three completion phases, with the first homes due to be ready in late 2021.

Each property at the private residential gated scheme will have gardens and off-street parking.

The whole project is expected to complete by the Spring of 2022, with more than 100 construction and design specialists working on the build.

Polyteck will be working alongside CG Architects for the build, Long and Partners for mechanical and electrical services, Hamptons for Quantity Surveying and Fox Greg for sales.

Costas Polycarpou, development partner, Polyteck, said: “We are delighted to be able to start on this development.

“Not only does it provide much needed housing in the area, but it will also play an important role in creating jobs for many people who have been placed on furlough as a direct consequence of the economic fallout of the pandemic.”
