It is our vision to produce high-quality marine employment and an extraordinary development of residential neighbourhoods at Lennox Point.
We want to create a unique and sustainable community that is also an iconic and captivating gateway into the city.
The marine employment hub will be recognised as a national beacon within the industry and the residential development will be regarded as a highly desirable place to live.
Using our five design principles, our team of architects, marine experts, transport planners, regeneration managers, structural engineers and ecologists are currently developing a masterplan which will detail our ambitions for Lennox Point.
The plan will focus on the following areas:
As we’re developing the masterplan, we’re keen to hear your views on how Lennox Point will be developed; what type of jobs and homes you’d like to see on the site, our proposal for a car-free environment; the focus on sustainable transport; and our ambition to create a well-connected and contemporary community.
In 2020, we held a series of roadshow events across the city to engage with residents and businesses about Lennox Point. Many of their questions have been compiled in our FAQs, and their comments taken into account as we develop our masterplan.
In 2020, Cabinet Members at Portsmouth City Council approved work that needs to be undertaken in order for Lennox Point to submit a planning application to the council, which is expected to be submitted in 2022.
Prior to this, there will be multiple opportunities for public engagement with the proposals for Lennox Point, both as part of the wider city-wide Local Plan consultation and on the Lennox Point masterplan. At each stage, the plans will be adapted in line with public consultation, to ensure we are proposing the best development possible.
*We had initially estimated that the next phase of public consultation would begin in early 2021 however due to the impact of the pandemic, we now expect this to happen later in the year.
