Reason for Decision

The redevelopment of Marian Court represents an opportunity to deliver increased numbers of residential units in order to maximise the use of the land and to enable the renewal of an existing housing estate which has deteriorated, is costly to run due to energy inefficiencies, and would be prohibitively expensive to bring up to the Decent Homes Standard. It will also re-configure and provide improved amenity space, public realm and new community and commercial space.
