WORK has started on a new housing development that will provide 80 affordable homes for people with strong local connections. A large number of two, three and four-bedroom houses are being built at Loperwood Lane, Calmore, together with a small collection of one and two-bedroom flats. Half the homes will be available to buy through the shared ownership scheme while the other 50% will be offered for rent. The first proposal to redevelop the site was turned down by New Forest District Council in 2016 after sparking more than 100 objections.
