Seafront Masterplan 2020 – consultation results
Analysis of results
Introduction
The draft Seafront Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document sets out guidelines for how the seafront could be improved and conserved. It also makes recommendations on the possible things that could happen along the seafront.
Portsmouth City Council (PCC) consulted with local people in 2018 and 2019 before drafting the masterplan, and consulted again in 2020 (September 18th to October 30th) before creating a final version.
The masterplan will be used to guide developers and help PCC make future decisions on proposals for the area. The aim of this consultation was to understand the level of public support for the draft Seafront Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document and to help with creating a final version.
