DDS Demolition has started site clearance and enabling works at the Loxford Lane site with the aim of starting piling works in August.

The homes to be built will be a mixture of 1, 2 and 3-bed flats spread across four blocks of between 5 and 7 storeys as well as 17 family houses.

The site will also see improvements to green and play areas as well as refuse and recycling stations.
