Demolition begins at former car showroom to make way for homes
Work has begun on demolishing a former car showroom and furniture warehouse in Telford.
The demolition of the former Reviive building, on Wellington Road in Trench has begun.
Prior to being taken over as a second-hand furniture store, the building stood for many years as a car garage and showroom.
Now, the space is set for a development that will see the erection of 19 "affordable dwellings".
The project, being organisation by the Wrekin Housing Group, was granted planning permission in September 2022.
The development will be made up of seven three-bed properties, eight two-bed properties and four one-bed apartments.
Stephen Williams, project manager at The Wrekin Housing Group said: “We’re really excited to be bringing these much-needed affordable homes to the area.
"We are giving this site a new lease of life, and doing it in a way that will both create a thriving community and help meet the growing demand for good quality, affordable housing in Telford and Wrekin.”
Full plans can be found on the Telford & Wrekin planning portal, application number: TWC/2021/1085.
