Regeneration

The development of the Bay Place Plan has now begun, with a view to providing a shared vision and action plan that supports our local communities. This is a partnership project which seeks to unite Sandown with Lake and Shanklin, whilst recognising the distinct challenges and opportunities in each location and celebrating the unique characteristics.

Developing the plan we have the tri-consortium of Feria Urbanism, Støriie and the Place Bureau, who together presented an exciting and inspired consultancy application to representatives from the partnership councils earlier this year. The group are currently undertaking local research and horizon scanning to understand the work that has already been done on local plans and learn about ongoing projects impacting the area. They will be opening the conversation up to the whole community in July for public and stakeholder consultation work at a three-day “think space”, incorporating workshops, creative activities, and walking tours. The results of these sessions will feed directly into the development of the Bay Place Plan.
