Red Funnel’s Plan B proposals: Comment deadline looming

Billed as being ‘vital to the East Cowes Regeneration‘, Isle of Wight residents have just one more day to comment on Red Funnel’s “Plan B” proposals for their ferry terminal expansion in East Cowes.

There are a large number of documents to work through, but a good place to start if you’re intending to inform yourself is the Planning Statement (the document at the bottom of the list).

What’s planned
Under the interim scheme (Red Funnel are still planning to appeal the planning committee’s rejection), several buildings would be demolished, including a currently unused industrial unit (the Redux Shed located behind the Dover Road properties), along with Trinity House buildings, which will be used to expand the existing marshalling area of Trinity Yard.

Storage of dropped trailers and staff car parking will take place at Seaholme Yard and the proposals also include a bridge across a section of the River Medina and the “stopping up” of the Dover Road Slipway and public footpath to the west of Trinity Yard.
