Huge site is renovated to house British street paper (3,3,5)

I believe the answer is:
the big issue
'street paper' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'huge site is renovated to house british' is the wordplay.
'renovated' indicates an anagram.
'to house' indicates putting letters inside.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'huge'+'site'+'is'='hugesiteis'
'hugesiteis' with letters rearranged gives 'theigissue'.
'theigissue' going around 'b' is 'THE BIG ISSUE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
