Although the development had previously obtained a Record of Decision (ROD), it has expired several years ago. However, with its revival, the project is set to revitalize the area and fulfill its potential. The initial idea was that these residential units will consist predominantly of free-standing houses, complemented by a number of 4 to 6 unit blocks, catering to a diverse range of housing preferences.
