Nothing left but rubble: Aerial photos show how all 88 newbuild homes on ... trends now
Aerial photos show how all 88 new build homes have been bulldozed on a Cambridge estate after they were demolished due to 'foundation issues'.
The jaw-dropping photos show the Darwin Green site left nothing but a pile of rubble after the houses were plagued with defects.
The buildings have been razed to the ground, and the rubble is now being cleared away.
Developers Barratt David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire admitted last year that the houses needed to be demolished and rebuilt following foundation issues - at a cost of £40million.
The demolition work has taken place over the last eight weeks and there is now a big empty space where the houses once stood.

Large screens were put up to protect neighbouring properties from dust and debris from the bulldozing process.
Residents in other homes on the site have also reported telltale signs the homes were not fit for purpose.
In a planning application to Cambridge City Council for the demolition last autumn, the developers said tiles and other materials, such as doors, windows, sanitary and kitchen equipment, would be salvaged where possible and concrete and brick would be crushed on site and reused.
Barratt David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire said last June that 'during inspections' of the site they found some of the homes did not meet their 'usual high standards'.
The developers said 'most effective course of action' was to 'demolish the properties and re-build them'.
