Detailed proposals have been submitted to planners to demolish 206 rundown maisonettes and bungalows of the New Park Village estate, and replace them with 66 new houses and 122 apartments which will be rented for social housing.
A consultation last year showed that 75 per cent of tenants who took part wanted to see their homes demolished.
The plans will see Ellerton Walk and the surrounding areas redeveloped over two phases, beginning with the vacated blocks off Longford Road.
