Description: Following an initial feasibility study the report requests authorisation to commission further reports (technical, financial & socio-economic) into the feasibility of building a small harbour near East Beach, Selsey including associated business units, to provide fisheries protection, economic opportunities, flood protection and a visitor focus on the Manhood Peninsula.
Expected outcome: A secure and expanding inshore fishing industry. A place where Selsey businesses can grow; and where residents and visitors can find good cultural, leisure and sporting activities.
