- 6. The maximum possible amount of affordable housing in the regeneration area
- 7. The continuation of long-stay tourism on the regeneration site
- 8. A landmark Visitors Centre
- 9. A sustainable solution to flood water management in and around the regeneration area
- 10. A cutting-edge environmental approach to regeneration
