Location
Lands Improvement, in Joint Venture with Gallagher Estates, own around 16.2 hectares of land in Poole Harbour including the site of the former power station.

Development proposals
We are working in close co-operation with the Borough of Poole to bring forward a comprehensive mixed use regeneration package which will include the construction of a new lifting bridge for the town.

Project status
An outline planning application for a high density mixed use waterfront scheme was submitted in 2005 and a Community Forum has been set up to allow effective engagement with local residents. The Joint Venture was granted full planning permission for the link road that runs through the site in July 2006. The Department for Transport approved a Transport and Works Act Order for the construction of the new lifting bridge in August 2006. The Borough of Poole envisages that construction of the bridge will begin in 2007.
