WORK has officially started on a new housing estate in Tenbury.

Tenbury View on Oldwood Road will feature 43 new homes, providing close to 90 jobs and investment to the local area.

The development, which is anticipated to be complete early in 2015, will provide a mixture of contemporary and traditional styles with property sizes of one, two, three, four and five bedrooms.

“We’re immensely excited to be starting work at Tenbury View, which will offer our very best new homes in a unique setting,” said John Fitzgerald, managing director of David Wilson Homes.

“Working closely with local partners we look forward to creating job opportunities and a new community for local people and residents.”

As part of the planning consent, which was granted in May 2014, David Wilson Homes is to contribute £166,600 towards public transport, public open spaces and maintenance of the local area.
