Managing director of the Property Perspective, John Jarvis, said: “ The standard of these apartments is excellent and we have already sold several and have received a number of enquiries. Clearly this is the way forward for developers.

“Clients are telling us that they would like affordable housing in our town centres, we are confident that this redevelopment will be the start of several similar projects within our town centre.”
