Marine South East calls for a bold approach to the Daedalus site
MareNet recently hosted an event to discuss the future of the Daedalus site. Jonathan Williams, CEO of Marine South East, summed up the mood of the meeting which favoured an, “ambitious and far reaching vision, potentially combining a marina, slipway and tarmac runway to create a unique cross-sector development opportunity for the South Coast.”
Over 70 delegates attended the event including, marine businesses, service companies and business support agencies. Five initial concepts for the future of the site were outlined by the main speaker, Tim Houghton from Groundwork Solent. A number of key features of the site were discussed along with concerns over residential and commercial proximity, transport access and the future of the runway.
More information as well as the presentation from the event is available on the Marine South East website at www.marinesoutheast.co.uk on the MareNet page or on the Daedalus web page http://www.daedalus-seeda.co.uk .
