Plans go in for 300sqm of floating pontoons at Hartlepool Marina's Jackson Dock
Plans have been lodged for new floating pontoons to boost water and leisure activities provided by Hartlepool Marina.
Proposals have been submitted to Hartlepool Borough Council to carry out works to improve connectivity around the waterfront and access to Jackson’s Dock.
The application would see 300sqm of floating pontoons provided on the water, along with an additional walkway and ramp to connect the pontoons with the adjacent public space.
A planning statement as part of the proposals, submitted by the council, outlines how the development will support existing site users and the leisure offer provided by the new Highlight active wellbeing building when it opens later this year.
It said: “It is anticipated that the proposals will have a positive impact on the development of the marina as a public venue.”
Council chiefs previously said Highlight will provide “connections for water-sports, utilising Hartlepool Marina”.
A decision on the pontoon proposals is expected later this month.
