Vision

The design actions have been constructed through a process. The original design actions were considered, a SWOT of the site was then undertaken to test how the site meets and falls short of the original design actions. From this analysis a new set of design actions were produced which still aim to meet the initial vision of increased connections, high quality housing and services and a vibrant space that promotes walking and cycling.
