Persimmon Homes West Midlands has been granted planning permission to build more than 130 homes on the site of the former Dyson factory in Stoke-on-Trent.Demolition work is due to begin in the next few weeks and it could take up four months to clear the site to make way for the development, which will help to create around 400 jobs.The new homes are due to be launched onto the market in early 2017 and it is hoped the first occupants will move in next summer.The builder plans to provide a selection of two, three, four and five-bedroom properties together with a commercial element on the site, in Shelton New Road.The development will be called Mintons Wood, in recognition of the town’s ceramic history where Thomas Minton established his famous pottery factory in the late 18th century.
