Construction is coming to an end at a new housing development in Newent which is providing 80 new homes for the local area.

Bellway is building 48 three, four and five-bedroom homes for private sale and 32 one, two and three-bedroom affordable homes for shared ownership or rent at Picklenash Grove, off Ross Road.

Building work began at the site last year, and with most homes now constructed and just the final interiors left to fit in, work is expected to be completed by March 2021.

More than 50 residents have now moved into their new homes, with a new community starting to form. A new sports field, a children’s play area and public open space are also being created at the development.
