WATCH: Project to transform former Pounds scrapyard into housing development presses on

The former Pounds Scrapyard site is in the process of being transformed into a waterfront housing development - and work is well underway.

The first apartment blocks are taking shape at the landmark Portsmouth site, which will eventually accommodate 835 homes once the project is complete.

Being redeveloped by housing association, VIVID, the site, known as Victory Quay, will consist of apartment buildings ranging from two to ten-storeys high, with the largest at the northern most point of the site. The development will feature approximately 250 affordable properties to rent or buy.

Victory Quay is part of a wider five-year transformation of Tipner East, with vital infrastructure including sea defences already in place.
