Who would want to live in a converted accommodation block?
Ask yourself this: who would want to live in a converted mill or warehouse? But such conversions are popular. On Alfred Gelder Street in Hull, former council science laboratories were recently converted into luxury apartments. Near the Hull New Theatre another commercial property is currently being rebuilt. Yet this former warehouse is in worse condition than those buildings on camp. The accommodation blocks at Driffield can be easily refurbished and sold on as either spacious apartments or rural offices. If restored and converted into apartments the accommodation blocks on camp would be worth around 7.2m in sales revenue or more.
