Site Allocation Representation - Cobbs Quay Marina

1.1 Figure 6.4 is misleading and needs to be more clearly defined in order for appropriate mechanisms to be implemented to monitor the Town Centre Area in the future, this will be difficult to achieve if those sites included in this area are not clearly detailed. For example only parts of Cobb’s Quay is included within the Town Centre; the redline in figure 6.4 covers part of the pontoon area, but not the whole site.
1.2 Cobb’s Quay should be fully included in the Town Centre as it is an important leisure site which contributes to the economy and provides activities to add to the leisure and tourism offer available in Poole. The plan should be redrawn to carefully consider which sites should be included within the Town Centre area in order to contribute towards the aims of revitalising the Town Centre (Policy PSC11).
1.3 The figure currently includes a oval shape to define the Town Centre, which cuts across sites. Another area of confusion concerning figure 6.4 is the tittles and labels. Figure 6.4 is titled Poole Town Centre, however the red line is label Poole Central Area. The title and labels need to be clearly identified.
