The Earlham Grove scheme, located on a former brownfield site, will feature nine homes for social rent with the rest available through shared ownership.
Twenty of these will be one-bedroom, with 27 two-bedroom and 31 three-bedroom homes across the 0.5 hectare development.
There will also be car parking facilities, landscaped communal gardens and cycle bays.
Due to be completed by May 2021, the project is a partnership between housebuilders Hill and Gateway Housing Association.
