The development now offers a further 20 one, two and three bedroom new build homes to the rear of the building, including five bungalows.

“Through our sensitive and innovative approach we’ve been able to bring these buildings back into use and provide new homes for generations to come,” says a spokesperson for Nuplace.
“We’ll continue to explore every opportunity to deliver similar projects as often renovation is more sustainable than new construction, reducing the need for new materials and minimising waste.
“Across the four new developments and where possible, we’ve also installed solar panels and electric charging points to help offset energy costs and deliver on the council’s commitment to reduce carbon omissions and tackle climate change.”
“Due to high demand, we will be allocating properties on a first come, first served basis as long as the applicant meets the required criteria.
