Port Masterplan pdf icon PDF 779 KB

Purpose.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has long encouraged major UK transport facilities to produce a master plan.  In relation to ports, DfT guidance suggests that the purpose of such plans should be to:

·       Clarify the port's own strategic planning for the medium to long term.

·       Assist regional and local planning bodies, and transport network providers, in preparing and revising their own development strategies and

·       Informing port users, employees and local communities as to how they can expect to see the port develop over the coming years.

 

Portsmouth International Port (PIP) is a publicly owned port and so whilst it must ensure that its decision making and planning is transparent and democratically accountable, it must also do so sensitive to its position operating in a commercially competitive environment.

 

Portsmouth International Port's (PIP) current master plan was published in 2006 and is due to a number of significant national changes (such as Brexit and Covid Pandemic) and the city vision, this no longer meets PIP's objectives.

 

Since 2020, PIP has undertaken a significant amount of work in preparation for the publication of its new Port Master Plan.


This report seeks to outline the framework (which will be referred to as 'the Development Master Plan') form which the Port Master Plan will be based.

 

RECOMMENDED that the Cabinet:

 

1.    Approve the principles outlined in the Development Master Plan and

2.    Recommends that the report is presented to Full Council for endorsement; and

3.    Delegate authority to the Port Director, in consultation with the Leader, s151 officer and City Solicitor to finalise and publish the Port Master Plan in line with the principles outlined in the Development Master Plan.
