Work is slowly progressing at a former college site which is being redeveloped into new homes.

The Havering College Quarles Campus in Harold Hill was first vacated in 2020, way before a planning application was approved to replace the building with 120 homes in 2021.

Since work began in July 2023, the development has progressed to the point that its first visitors were able to recently step foot to the nine-acre Roe Wood Park development to see how it is looking.

Aerial photos show there is still a long way to go, but developers Bellway London still believe the first new homes will be complete by Spring 2025.

New CGI images have also been released to show how Bellway London expects the project to look like once it is complete.

The 120 new homes will feature 53 houses and apartments for private sale, include a mix of one, two and three-bedroom properties.

There will also be 46 affordable homes available through low-cost rent or shared ownership.

Carolyn Webb, Bellway London Sales Manager, said: “There has been a great deal of interest in the new homes being built at Roe Wood Park ever since plans were announced.

"This was a highly-anticipated launch which was evidenced by the incredibly high number of people who turned up on the launch weekend.

“It was great to be able to welcome visitors onto the development for the first time and to show them exactly what we are delivering on the site. The range of two and three-bedroom houses and one, two and three-bedroom apartments is designed to meet the requirements of the local housing market and has appeal for a broad variety of buyers.”

There is currently a choice of two and three-bedroom homes available to reserve at Roe Wood Park, with prices starting at £416,000 and £485,000 respectively.
