Sefton Council’s Planning Committee has been moved to Southport for the determination of the new £73 million Marine Lake Events Centre, so local people can see this important local decision taking place.
It is the biggest Southport application to come before the Planning Committee for generations.
The meeting will be held at The Waterfront Hotel, Promenade, Southport. PR9 0DZ from 6.30pm on Thursday, 27th April 2023.
All are welcome to attend, as space allows.
Plans for the £73 million new Southport Marine Lake Events Centre will also include proposals for a spectacular water and light show on Marine Lake.
The ambitious scheme, the central development of Southport Town Deal, will replace the former Southport Theatre and Convention Centre which closed in March 2020.
The new centre is estimated to attract over half a million visitors into Southport every year and generate £18 million for the local economy with a huge boost for Southport’s hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, guest houses and other local businesses.
It would create 290 gross direct on-site and off-site operational jobs.
The proposed new development would be a modern building comprising a 1,200 seat theatre (1,500 capacity seating standing), and a conference centre with a capacity of 2,400.
The proposed opening hours of the theatre are between 9am and 11pm, and the exhibition centre between 7am and 11pm.
The proposed building would have a net internal area of 9,571 sq metres. It would be orientated north-south, and separated into two component parts, the theatre / events auditorium in the south part of the building and the exhibition hall/convention centre in the northern part.
In the application, Sefton Chief Planning Officer Derek McKenzie said: “The proposed development would make a significant contribution to the regeneration of the wider Southport area, increasing tourism and bringing with it substantial social and economic benefits not just to Southport but Sefton.”
