Major Marina Development - Second Time Round the Planning Circus

Brunswick Developments goes back into the Council planning mill to see if it can get approval this time round. The height of the tower is untouched - which makes sense since that is the keynote development.

The development will amount to a £235 million investment in the city, including 853 new apartments, 341 (40%) of which will be key worker accomodation (for the likes of nurses and teachers). The top of the 420 ft high tower will have a viewing platform. The harbour arms will be linked by a swing bridge.

Another bridge will go over the beach at Blackrock and link to a new promenade that will extend 1.5 km to the Peter Pan Play Area - for the use of both pedestrians and cyclists.

20% of the development's energy will be met from sustainable sources. 200,000 more visitors per year to the marina are expected.
