Hide AdConstruction started this week and will create a mixture of new homes available for affordable letting.
The land has laid derelict for a number of years and had been branded an eyesore by members of the public, while also attracting bouts of anti-social behaviour.
The project will create a mixture of one and two-bed apartments, two and three-bed houses, and one and two-bed cottage flats.
All homes will benefit from allocated parking spaces, landscaping and gardens, with the ground floor apartments featuring level access showers.
Work is due to be completed in December 2022.
