Plans Advance to Replace Historic Homes with New Residential Developments in UK

Plans are moving forward in North Ascot, Bracknell Forest, to replace aging bungalows at 52 and 55 Fernbank Road with modern homes, including a new four-bedroom house and two four-bedroom semi-detached homes, featuring updated amenities and landscaping. In Wolverhampton, a century-old four-bedroom home on Coalway Road is proposed to be demolished to make way for a three-story building with nine one- and two-bedroom flats, aiming for a sustainable and efficient use of the land. Meanwhile, Habitat for Humanity is actively contributing to affordable housing, recently dedicating its 297th home in Roanoke, Virginia, built through extensive volunteer efforts and local church support. Additionally, in Kittery, Maine, Habitat for Humanity plans to redevelop a tax-foreclosed vacant property into at least two affordable housing units, with demolition expected soon and construction to begin in 2027. These developments reflect ongoing efforts across different regions to address housing needs through both new builds and redevelopment projects.
