The Development and Planning Commission has given Full Planning Permission for the Eastside Development, after allowing members the opportunity to see the final positioning of the main breakwater.

A majority of DPC members have now confirmed that they are satisfied with the southernmost extent of the main breakwater, which forms part of the coastal protection plans for the development.

Eastside is an important infrastructure project that will deliver affordable homes, leisure facilities and green spaces in a manner that respects and protects its surrounding natural environment, in keeping with the Government’s commitment to biodiversity and marine conservation.

Note to Editors

The masterplan for Eastside was granted outline planning permission in August 2022. TNG Reality (Eastside) Ltd submitted a full planning application in February for coastal protection works and marina, which constitute the first phase of the Development. The DPC considered the application at its meeting held on 27 March 2025 and resolved to approve the application subject to members having the opportunity to see the final positioning of the breakwater for themselves.
