The Fiddington Fields development in Tewkesbury has received the green light for its next phase, bringing 304 new homes to the growing community.

Persimmon Homes Severn Valley will soon begin construction on phase three, which includes a mix of one-to-five-bedroom homes. Of these, 105 properties will be allocated to a local housing association, helping to ease pressure on local housing waiting lists. One further phase is planned to complete the development.
