The council houses in Old Common and The Tynings were built as temporary homes after the Second World War.
But 60 years later the precast reinforced concrete Wool-aways were no longer fit for habitation because metal rods in the walls were corroding.
Tenants were rehoused to allow for sustainable new homes plus additional ones for sale to help finance the project.
Construction should start in August with the first completions in April or May 2014.
