The proposed masterplan retains the Smithson Buildings enclosing the central open area and adds 127 low-rise high density two and three storey courtyard housing on the perimeter and within the centre of the site to provide a mix of house types at ground level integrated with the landscape. Five storey street scale buildings at the north of the site provides 73 new flats above 1500 m2 community and commercial uses. The new housing integrates into the landscape with green roofs and earth banks to retain the principle of a central green open space. The existing pedestrian routes through the site are retained and security reinforced by the housing at ground level and shops, leisure and community services. New Houses are created on the perimeter are built over the car parking deck planned. Houses are planned around internal courtyards, which allows them to provide a buffer from the adjacent streets.
