The first houses to be built as part of a development of 618 new homes on a 93-acre site on the edge of Stevenage are taking shape.

Redrow is building 253 new homes off Gresley Way as the first phase of a development of 618 new homes, a primary school and pre-school, and an 80-bed care home.

East Herts District Council granted full planning permission for the first phase in August last year.
