The current houses earmarked for demolition

The proposals to build 99 new energy-efficient homes have been submitted by Wolverhampton Homes.

They will replace 93 prefabs on the Lincoln Green Estate in Bushbury.

It is part of Wolverhampton Council’s citywide strategy to identify solutions for 4,100 out-dated homes built by old, non-traditional construction methods.

The first wave of demolition is set to start this month with 26 ageing bungalows to be pulled down over the next four months across the Lincoln Green Estate on Alleston Road, Grosvenor Road, Lincoln Green and School Lane, and in the Wood End and Portobello areas.
