Masterplanning and Coastal Regeneration Planning

Client: Chichester District Council
Working with Terra Firma Landscape Architects and Marks Barfield Architects, we were commissioned by Chichester District Council to produce a regeneration masterplan for the East Beach area in Selsey. Our work included:

• Carrying out a consultation exercise to identify the needs of key stakeholders and members of the public
• Using a range of case examples to identify innovative approaches to coastal regeneration
• A market review to underpin the selection of opportunities. This included a review of tourism data and a demographic assessment
• Commercial opportunities and broader financial parameters were also identified and assessed.  The site is low-lying which is at the vanguard of climate change adaption and this had to be factored into the analysis.

The key outcome included a development masterplan for the site which identified a core hub combining learning uses alongside fishing and commercial uses. A number of spokes of the hub were identified including a sports and play zone, the coastal strip, car parking, local retail businesses and wildlife area.
