Work on the development is set to start on site in the spring of this year, with the first residents expected to move into their new homes in the autumn.

Priory Orchard forms part of the 'Priorslee East Strategic Urban Extension development', which will see up to 1,100 new homes built as part of its masterplan.

Avant Homes West Midlands managing director, Luke Scarborough, said the firm is looking forward to starting work on the development.

He said: “As a housebuilder, our aim is to provide quality new homes for everyone and Priory Orchard is an excellent example of this commitment in action.

"Our Monkswood development has proven hugely popular with first-time buyers and young families in Priorslee and we are pleased to bring forward the second phase in response to strong local demand.

“We now look forward to starting works at the second phase of our development and continue to grow this thriving community we have created in Priorslee.”
