Option 1:
- Keeping Robin Hood Gardens
- refurbishing the buildings
- Robin Hood Gardens would be refurbished
- Smaller buildings to the south of Woolmore Street would be removed to increase the avail able public space
- The buildings over the Blackwall Tunnel approach would be smaller than proposed in Option 2 so they better match the size of Robin Hood Gardens
- Total number of residential units would be lower than for Option 2, which reduces the funding for new community facilities
|
- Every Council rented home in Robin Hood Gardens would be brought up to the Government’s basic Decent Homes standard
- Residents may get an opportunity to move to one of the new homes
- The well known buildings will be kept
|
- Less money would be generated for the provision of community facilities because there would be fewer new homes built
- The costs of refurbishment may not be good value for money compared to new homes
- Funding refurbishment would be difficult and only allow work to achieve basic Decent Homes standard
- Refurbished homes would not be the same standard as new homes and would be less energy efficient
- Disruption to residents during extensive refurbishment works requiring temporary relocation
- The opportunity to provide new housing which better meets the needs of residents would be reduced
- The works would incur leaseholder recharge
- Limiting the regeneration potential making it more difficult to design out crime and anti-social behaviour
- There would be less open space in the centre than possible with the replacement of Robin Hood Gardens
- Available space for development around the edge and underneath Robin Hood Gardens would be more difficult to incorporate into a new landscaping and urban design scheme.
