Default Drayton Park depot future?

Drayton Park tube depot was closed almost 40 years ago, when the
Northern City line transferred to BR. The sheds and tracks were
removed by 1977, and since then the site has become overgrown and
derelict. Here's a few pics I took there on a rather dull yesterday:

As you can see, it's surrounded by large modern blocks of flats and
the Emirates stadium. I wonder why nothing has been erected on the
former depot site? You'd think the land would be quite valuable, and
of course it has good rail connections, at least on weekdays and up to
10pm.
