The homes to the back of Knowle Primary School will be available for occupation from December, Miller Homes told The Silhillian.

The Arden Fields development – with access from Hampton Road – is currently under construction.

The 88-home development was given Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council permission in 2012.

It will have 53 open market homes with a two-bedroom flat over a garage; 36, three-bedroom homes and 16, four-bedroom homes.

The remaining 35 will be affordable housing with 21 socially rented with the rest on shared ownership.

The site is in the council’s local plan of where major estates should go to 2028.

The two other sites in Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath are 115 homes at Middlefield, at the back of Arden School and 150 at Four Ashes Lane, Bentley Health.

Crest Nicholson is offering 27 homes for Four Ashes Lane and plans for 51 supported living apartments for OAPs were approved by the council last year.
