It comes after the southern section of the boiler house at the station was demolished in November 2020.
The project, put together by a consortium headed by Fawley Waterside, will see huge industrial buildings replaced with hundreds of homes, as well as community and commercial facilities.
The current buildings are expected to be completely demolished by 2022.
