and live on Freeview channel 276
Outline permission for the development on land east of Kings Way was given in 2013, with the homes being built over a number of phases.
But the number of homes will increase to 513 if the planning committee approves an application for the final phase of building at its meeting on Thursday (February 24).

Some 30 per cent of the homes – 72 in total – would be classed as affordable.
The recommendation from planning officers is to approve once a Section 106 legal agreement is in place.
Such agreements ensure developers make a contribution to the community via the planning authority, with the money used to help fund everything from affordable housing and roads to bus routes and youth services.

The meeting will begin at 2pm and will be live-streamed to the council’s YouTube channel.
