1 redeveloped a steel plant [6] ?e?s?l - vessel ? - getting most of letters from steel and v from redeveloped but think clue's a bit obscure

2 apostasy , its where some rodents are abundant [7] r?t?e?y - can't understand where apostasy comes in at all. . rattery is an actual place - likewise would you get rats in a rettery ?

1 Teasel, plant - from 'a steel'.

1 teasel

[Neveracrossword]

Apostasy means selling someone out, being a rat, traitor - so I think Rattery works ok.

[Toorak]

Teasel - anagram a steel def plant

[JJ109]

I also think rattery is OK
ratter - a disloyal person who betrays or deserts his cause or religion or political party or friend etc.
≡apostate, deserter, turncoat, recreant, renegade

↔quitter - a person who gives up too easily
