New footage shows a timelapse of work from September to November this year on the former Hearnden Court building located in Henshaw Road, Wellingborough.

It shows the clear out and demolition of the old building, as well as the start of the groundworks in preparation for the next stage of the build.

Dappletree View has been chosen to compliment the building’s scenic views of the park behind it and the dappled light that comes through the trees that are remaining on the site.

Julie Robinson, executive director at Greatwell Homes, said: “It’s so exciting to see the work on the site has progressed since I watched the demolition in September.

“With its new name Dappletree View, this scheme is going to be an exciting, modern home to those with additional needs to help them live as independently as possible and will support the ageing population as years go by.

“After many years of planning, it’s great to see that progress is really being made on the site and I can’t wait to watch this project take shape.”
