Helen Town, from NPH, said: “We have submitted plans to build 16 new homes in Montague Crescent. This development will provide 15 new wheelchair accessible bungalows, and a brand new community room with a flat above. We’re also proposing to add new parking spaces, and pavements to provide pedestrian access to the new homes.
"This development will provide much needed affordable, social housing to local families on the council’s housing register.”
The existing community centre would also be replaced with a brand new one, according to the documents.
