Construction has begun on 80 affordable homes in Old Marston, with a ceremonial groundbreaking held on land off Mill Lane.
The scheme, delivered by OX Place, will provide 80 homes including one to four-bedroom properties. Of these, 32 will be for social rent and 48 for shared ownership.
Designed to reflect the character of Old Marston, the development will include traditional materials, landscaped gardens and new green space with wildlife habitats and countryside views.
New pedestrian and cycle links will connect the site to surrounding routes, while sustainability features include solar panels, air source heat pumps and a fabric-first approach to reduce energy use.
The development is expected to take just over two years to complete, with first residents due in late 2028.
