Regeneration

The regeneration of Cardiff’s Channel View Estate with the building of more than 300 new houses made progress this week.

Northern towns are facing ‘seismic’ changes, with Covid-19 and lockdowns making a huge impact on the retail sector as shifting working patterns and social distancing measures become the norm for millions of people, according to research.

Local authorities in England will be given compulsory purchase order powers (CPO) to take over and transform derelict buildings and convert them into homes if property owners stall on regeneration plans.
