Mixed-use regeneration of Wales’ largest fishing port
Our role
- Milford Haven is among the UK’s largest ports and plays a vital role in the economy of Pembrokeshire, Wales and the UK.
- Advised on a range of proposals seeking to contribute to the long term future of the port, both in its operations and also its use of ancillary and under-utilised land for alternative purposes.
- Providing strategic Planning, Heritage and Townscape, Economics, Sustainability and Strategic Communications advice in relation to the comprehensive regeneration of Milford Dock and Marina, site acquisitions and development potential, and for compulsory purchase of third party land within the Port of Pembroke.
- For Milford Dock, the physical nature of the site, the heritage context of the dock and the existing buildings provided significant challenges and had to be considered, alongside existing uses that had to be retained, such as fishing, residential and the marina.
- We are providing ongoing advice regarding the implementation of the comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment.
