Work is expected to start in earnest next month, with the programme expected to take around 12 months to complete.

A spokesperson for the university, which also has campuses in Peterborough and Cambridge, confirmed projects had been paused as a direct result of the pandemic.
He said: “Covid-19 has caused ARU to adjust capital plans in Chelmsford and some projects have been held. However, business critical plans have continued.”
Other clients which have previously confirmed a pause plans include Imperial College London, Birmingham Airport and London City Airport.
Overbury declined to comment.
