I think you will find a good portion of the building will be in what is now the harbour.

I can't see it happening. Just another chapter in the saga of Pompey's ludicrous attempts to rehouse the stadium.
The plans appear to place it on the tidal hard between the station and the dockyard. There's simply no way that that'll get past an environmental impact assessment. I'd imagine there'd also be a major impact on the hydography of the harbour which, knowin g PFC, I very much doubt they have got round to thinking about - let alone actually modelling.
Everyone locally seems to be fretting about traffic as there's no space for car parking. I'd say that's the least of concerns. Particularly as the new Soton has zero car parking and therefore is always very easy to get to and never creates jams. Compare that to the out-of-town Rose Bowl. Acres of parking and located adjacent to the m-way. Result = matches regularly starting late as everyone is stuck in the gridlock that jams the roads for miles around.

What a disgrace. It'll be beside a railway station and ferry terminus, and very close to a bus station. It'll be dead easy to get there by public transport. We can't have that, can we?
Also "While the scheme aims to reclaim approximately 13 acres from the present harbour, water will continue to play a prominent role as it is intended to replace the small boat moorings facility on the landward side of the development and enhance the wider public realm by including the beach. It is also planned to create a new dock area to the north of the site enabling HMS Warrior to be resited but equally accessible to the public." My reading of this is they'll be replacing existing swinging moorings with a new mini-marina. Another example of craven compliance to market forces.
Mind you, most of the boats on the existing moorings seem to be mobos.

For the last five weeks one simple set of traffic lights on the Fareham to Gosport road has caused chaos, with traffic queuing up to the motorway, and roads like the one I live on in Stubbington which is miles away queuing just to get home to Gosport.
How can the road system cope with the extra traffic which would travel into Gosport to try and park to get over to Portsmouth?
Every December Saturday cars queue to get to Gunwarf, all along the M275, add 35,000 fans trying to get to the same place to watch the football, and you would have nothing short of chaos,
I dont believe the proposal will be accepted, after all Portsmouth has agreed to implement 20 mph restrictions throughout the city, for safety and traffic calming reasons.
How could they possibly grant permission for this development to be built on the Portsmouth Hard, shoreline and water.
