Planning approved for Gosport Marina

Premier Marinas says that its planning application for a multimillion regeneration of Gosport Marina has been approved by Gosport Borough Council.

The approved plan includes a new facilities building which will house a marina reception and office, shower rooms and a new berth holder’s lounge. The new building, overlooking Portsmouth Harbour, will also provide a home for an onsite food and beverage restaurant.

The approved planning also includes the refurbishment and extension of the commercial building, occupied by STS Defence Limited; re-location of the dry stack and landscaping improvements to the car parking and boat storage areas; and outline permission for a residential development providing 70 homes.

Marina manager, Jonathan Walcroft, is pleased to receive the go ahead: “The new building will be an incredible asset to the marina and demonstrates our focus in providing the very best facilities for our berth holders and visitors. The plans also reflects Premier’s ongoing commitment to investing in the regeneration of Gosport – the development will bring significant benefits to the local community including supporting the creation of new jobs. I am excited we are creating a marina fit for the future.”
