Clapham Park Estate What a Waste

Demolishing council estates is a massive waste of embodied carbon and hugely more expensive than refurbishment and retrofitting would have been.
This is totally flawed model or 'regeneration', and a con. It requires an increase in housing density to pay for itself, which is why these structurally sound buildings and mature trees here are being needlessly destroyed. Clapham Park Estate originally had sufficient space to install ground source heat pumps, which would work to cut carbon emissions, but only if homes are properly insulated. We should be moving away from outdated ways of doing things. Instead Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing remain fixated on their original plan-level the entire estate, cut down every living thing on it, and start from scratch.
