Option 4: Full redevelopment
Full redevelopment would mean we could offer the most improvements to the Estate. It would probably involve replacing all of the existing blocks in phases, with residents moving only once – from their current home to their new home. It also means we could look at the layout of the Estate and green spaces and communal areas, whilst bringing new homes into the area.
