and reputable hotel operations. The site will also house a reinterpretation of the


Philips building – we’ll try and keep the iconic end wall (some significant engineering challenges in keeping this elevation – it has some pretty big cracks in it!) and build into the back of it. At the end of this building, there’ll be a café/bistro with great views up the river. Above the café there’ll be a Heritage Centre that will


retell the history of the site – we’ll be able to exhibit many of the artifacts we’ve found on the site as well as those in the Dartmouth Museum collection but who don’t have the public space to show them. On a similar point, we’ve been consulting with relatives of those who died during the bombing of the shipyard during WWII about how we suitably incorporate the current memorial. And the residential development? The work on the marina, hotel, boatyard etc will commence first - so it’s all money out. The residential development will then follow. Our ownership allows us to do it in this order – normally a huge development such as this might see the residential completed first in order to fund the marina and boatyard development but that just delays the employment and economic benefits coming into the community. There’s been lots of debate about how we design and develop the residential with a density and design that is suitable to the site. We’ve come to the conclusion that less is more. There are 3 areas for development. What we call ‘Dart View’ (on the right as you enter the site where Noss House is currently) will house a variety of apartments and terraced units. An area that we call South Bay will have lower density units with green space, plus what our design team has termed ‘deck houses‘ which cantilever over the quay wall or on piles in the bay.


“We’ll be spending many millions on the general infrastructure, on developing the marina itself and on strengthening, upgrading and widening the railway bridge”


At the top of hill, as you enter from Bridge Road, we


own three houses which will be redeveloped. The residential development exists to fund the substantial infrastructure investment required e.g. a new quay wall, a public slipway, a new hoist bay etc. We’ll be spending many millions on the general infrastructure, on developing the marina itself and on strengthening, upgrading and widening the railway bridge – it will still be single track but wider. The hotel, commercial units etc will require further investment. Permission for the work on the bridge has already been granted and work will start shortly on a new pedestrian
