Yes, absolutely. If you look around our smaller regional towns in particular, where you have 19th century buildings on main streets, the back burgage plots on those have immense potential for regeneration using modern methods of construction onto the backfill of a site. There is still huge untapped potential in our town centres that we are not realising so I think something like this absolutely has merit.
