PROPOSALS for a major redevelopment of Sharpness Docks will be on display next week ahead of the submission of a planning application in the spring.

The Canal and River Trust is hosting a final consultation event on Tuesday before its plans, which include the development of 300 homes and industrial and warehouse space, are submitted in the coming weeks. 

James Lazarus, Canal & River Trust head of property development, said: “The Sharpness Docks estate has a rich history. There is a chance to build on this and we feel the proposals offer a great mix of new homes, green space, community facilities and improvements to the waterways. 

“We hope the development will bring new opportunities, activities and jobs to the area. 

“We’ve consulted with the local community on the proposed development and wanted to make sure people had a further chance to comment prior to us submitting the planning application. 

“I encourage anyone interested to visit us next Tuesday or see the plans on our project website.”

The consultation event will be on Tuesday, February 28, from 2-8pm at Sharpness Village Hall.
