regenerate the Prefabricated Bungalows at Stonebroom, including the option to consider
delivery of a new community building to replace existing
provision.  
 

(2)           
That Cabinet approved demolition notices be issued
to 40 tenancies of the bungalows.
 

(3)           
That Cabinet approved RHL’s request to award
Band 1 priority housing application status to seven tenancies of
the bungalows, who have expressed an interest in relocating away
from the project.

That Cabinet approved further detailed design,
engineering and construction planning works be undertaken for the
