Proposed development

Permission for development that will consist of converting the existing steps between the street and the river path to a 21m long ramp that will be suitable for individuals with limited mobility thereby providing access for all. It is also proposed to construct a 29m long metal cantilever meeting area on the riverbank east of the existing steps and path and three new public benches will be provided. The planning application includes overlaying 41m of the existing path with a steel boardwalk from the foot of the ramp, enhancing the mobility for individuals with limited mobility. Approximately 148m of the riverside path will be reprofiled and finished with an anti-skid surface to prevent slip. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) report has been completed for this development at
