Phase two – revitalising a former glass works with new affordable homes

The collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes is being constructed on an 11-acre derelict brown field site off Lancots Lane.

The scheme addresses a need for more affordable housing in the area, which is currently transitioning from a post-industrial hub to a residential community.

The homes will be fully compliant with the new Building Regulations, ensuring they are well insulated and thermally efficient with low running costs, air source heat pumps and photovoltaic solar panels.

A planning application was approved November 2023, and work started in March 2024. During the early stages of construction significant archaeological remains of international importance were uncovered and recorded relating to the famous glass making heritage of the site.
