No, I don't think it's a productive solution.

There's 299 one and two bed units.

I mean, I suppose the beauty of this particular site is that it's been completely de-risked from a planning perspective, from an engineering perspective, because it's above ground.

And so there's probably been about a hundred odd million spent there.

in de-risking it, taking that on top of the 150 million between acquisition and planning costs, we're getting a fairly good deal, to be honest with you.

No, I think it will probably be going down the line of the cost rental.

And I know there's been commentary around cost rental recently.

We have a model that we believe will work.

And so that would be the intention, that they would be publicly owned homes.

And we will go the cost rental model on it, which is, as you know, 25% below market.

I think that's, you know, standards change.

So is that going to be knocked down?

Not necessarily.

So what we are doing over the next couple of months is we'll be engaging with the elected members to get a direction of travel.

We'll interrogate what they might want us to do.

All we've done to date has been a massing study and it was kind of a very conservative massing study to see if you were putting housing on it, what could you fit?

And that was 532 plus a large community facility.

So that might not necessarily be what the elected members want us to do.

And I've had all sorts of suggestions in terms of we could actually celebrate the Viking heritage of the site on site.

Absolutely.
