Arguments for collective area-based approaches
- Local communities have better understanding of needs and wants (ref PWC)
- These projects have higher take up
- Focus can be targeted at streets and neighbourhoods that still meet general criteria
- Greater efficiency of retrofit assessments and coordination
- Greater efficiency of retrofit workers
- Greater potential for mutual support, local volunteering etc
- Greater and wider benefits achieved
- Can include collective assets where individual approaches can't
- Greater scope for local market making
