It's not viability, it's hammering out a workable framework that developers have to adhere to and that fits it with the locality as a whole. At the moment there are four plots that are demolished and vacant along the canal which means that we have a golden opportunity to develop them in a holistic way rather than let four developers build on them in their own way for maximum profits and no regard for the impact on infrastructure.
It's a lot of money but in the grand scheme of things will work out beneficially to Rishton long term.
