What a terrible excuse by the council: "the soil on the site was contaminated and not safe", I'm sure giving it to a multinational corporation with a track record of ignoring pollution regulation will make that better... not like that's how it got contaminated to begin with. Give it a decade and then the land next door will also be too polluted for residents and the council will stoically have to sell it off to another cancerous corporation

Got a very cool local group who's come up with a model for going from sharehousing to CLT gradually and in a way that doesnt lock people in, since diving straight into CLT can be out of reach for many communities: https://radhousing.org/ (it's not exactly 'the right way to do it' so much as, an example of what such a model might look like that people can tailor to their community's needs)
