Public space and access

The proposed development incorporates large public spaces and extensive walkways around and through the site to be enjoyed by everybody.

In the proposals so far, there is an outdoor amphitheatre for formal and informal events, which can accommodate up to 400 people. If the amphitheatre itself is used as a stage, 1200 or more people could watch a performance from the beach.

A large public square will be able to accommodate seasonal and themed events such as ice skating, exhibitions and entertainers’ events, as well as seasonal, themed or general markets. A market comprising 48 stalls with good circulation space could be housed or one twice this size.

Unfortunately, the spectacular new marina pier and Jurassic coast viewing platform will be significantly reduced and possibly deleted from the amended proposals going forward due to amendments to the Masterplan.
