Fawley - possible marina.

[matt1]

It would have to be significantly enlarged to form a marina, There’s not a lot behind the blade runner in the picture. There’s a nice walk from Ashlet Creek to calshot for those who want a last look at the power station. Shame the control room is going, that would make a cool pub / bar / restaurant with nice views

I sadly suspect the marina aspects will be neglected -on the iow the Ryde Harbour and Ventnor harbour are both examples of what happens when the council is involved - compare this with the positive approach shown in France -when they build a marina they create St Cast for example but I doubt any ability to do likewise at Fawley to provide actual facilities of use to boat owners. East cowes marina with the adjoins housing might be a suitable model .

The chimney is such a useful landmark, its demolition will sadden many.

Fairly sure no one missed the chimney at Kip on the Clyde ?

Given we have been supposed to have a new marina 'soon' here in Falmouth for the past 20ish years, I'm afraid this'll end up in the "I'll believe it when I see it" pile.

I suspect if the developers have to cut anything to keep any complainers happy, the marina will be first on the blocks.
