Option 3: Partial redevelopment
Under this option, more extensive redevelopment would be considered. Whilst some existing buildings would be kept and repaired, some buildings would be replaced so that a wider range of improvements could be delivered. This might include more social housing, wider improvements to the shared spaces and gardens, or new community facilities.
