Site description

A prominent seafront site adjacent to Shanklin esplanade and the popular cliff lift which the council has completely refurbished. The site is owned entirely by the council.

The site is a unique opportunity to create a mixed-use landmark building that enhances the character of the esplanade and supports the development of tourism and public amenities in the area.

It is suitable for a mixed-use scheme, combining commercial, tourism and parking with residential and hospitality space on the upper floors.

The scenic location and excellent access to road infrastructure and public transport makes it an ideal site for a boutique holiday accommodation that attracts visitors all year long.

Currently, the site comprises a public car park, redundant dwellings, public toilets and open grassed areas, and can be completely redeveloped.
