Questions this report answers
+What kind of building will be created on Burnt Oak Broadway?
The redevelopment will create a mixed-use building that is part seven storeys and part twelve storeys high. This means the structure will have two distinct heights, with the upper floors likely providing more residential or commercial space than the lower sections.
+What will happen to the existing building on the site?
The existing building will undergo partial demolition and restoration as part of the scheme. This indicates that some original structure will be preserved and integrated into the new development rather than being completely removed.
+Who will benefit from the new development?
The new building will include co-working spaces, shared living accommodation, and amenity areas. This suggests it will cater to professionals needing flexible workspaces and residents seeking communal living options.
