Save Britain's Heritage and Mark Hines Architects worked together once again on finding a way to refurbish 550 homes instead of them being demolished.
The new plan highlights the flexibility of the existing Victorian houses by joining, extending and modifying individual units to create family homes of up to four bedrooms with their own gardens.
Other ideas include giving residents the choice of a number of possible 'add-ons' to their properties, each offering a different living arrangement, with re-landscaped outdoor spaces.
William Palin, Secretary of SAVE, said: "Judged on community benefits, environmental impact and cost, rehabilitation and refurbishment is clearly the way forward.
"It is less destructive, helps preserve the existing community, saves money and offers revitalisation without losing the enduring qualities of these characterful and much-loved terraced streets.
"With good, imaginative design, these houses can be easily adapted to offer the variety of housing which the Pathfinder agencies say is required for the area."
