That is exactly what they are doing in Cambridge, see link below

Re: Post-war prefabs, does anyone remember them?

Hi Baz, I certainly do remember those Prefabs from my school days. My school friend lived in one with her parents. I can always remember how lovely and warm they always were, and once inside, they looked no different from any other front room and bedroom. I think they were a marvellous invention and often wonder why they are not using them nowadays with the horrendous state of our housing stock.
