A NEW cluster of homes will be built at the Slade Road school site in Stokenchurch in the New Year.

Persimmon Homes North London plans to build 37 houses, 11 of which will be affordable housing.

The development, on the site of a former school, will be known as Scholars Rise and will be a mix of two, three and four bedroom houses.

Regional chairman Andrew Hammond said: "This development is sure to be popular with first-time buyers, those with growing families and investors.

"It’s a really nice location and we’re delighted to be pushing forward with our plans."
