The plan was first proposed in 2015 but stalled until in 2019 the council agreed to sell land to developer - Beyond Housing - for the project.
Planning permission for the development was approved in June this year.

Project Director - Richard Bradley - says high inflation in the cost of building materials has delayed the build.
