Almost 100 new houses and flats look set to be built on wasteland where an old primary school was knocked down five years ago.
The old Southway Primary School site has been empty since the buildings were bulldozed in 2011.
Plymouth City Council sold off the land the following year as it offloaded plots all over the city earmarked for new homes.
Now the city's main social housing provider, Plymouth Community Homes (PCH), has revealed plans to build a total of 95 new properties on the land.
PCH has asked the council for permission to put up a mixture of everything from one-bedroom flats to four-bed houses.
Almost half of the homes would be two-bedroom houses for up to four people.
Also included would be 194 parking spaces, meaning an average of two spaces per house.
The land just off Bampfylde Way has long been earmarked for much-needed housing.
In 2011, security guards were called in to patrol the school after a string of break-ins. arson attempts and vandalism.
It was finally demolished in August of that year but, despite being sold off in 2012, has been vacant ever since.
A consultation period on the plans will run until July 26, where anyone can comment on the application.
The proposed homes are just the latest in a long line of housing plans for the Southway area.
As recently reported in The Herald, the Westward Housing Group wants to construct another 21 affordable houses and flats just off Clittaford Road.
Planning permission for 490 homes on the old Paper Converting factory and BAE sites was given the green light almost ten years ago.
The Herald revealed last year howbillionaire retail tycoon Chris Dawson now owns the derelict paper factory.
He purchased the site a few weeks before it burnt to the ground in a massive fire in July last year.
That site is expected to be earmarked for hundreds of new homes, while houseuilder Taylor Wimpey has already put up 130 homes in Whitehaven Way, in what is known as Warleigh Village.
And in further housebuilding plans for the area,a £10million scheme to create 67 new homes on the old Southway Secondary School site are also progressing.
