"Key features of the Elephant and Castle framework for development include:


?demolition of the shopping centre and Heygate Estate

?rehousing of Heygate Estate residents into high quality social housing in the Elephant and Castle area

?removal of the congested road system and rerouting of traffic out of the core area

?creation of a new pedestrian-friendly town centre

?development of 6, 600 new homes

?creation of 75,000m2 of modern retail and leisure facilities

?design of an improved transport interchange

?creation of two new parks

?addition of two extra schools, including a city academy

?creation of over 4,000 new jobs as a result of these changes

?adoption of a range of innovative measures to minimise energy consumption

?quality design at the heart of the plans"
