Proposals are being considered by a Steering Group for development of the core of Port Eynon village. The proposals include for the present car park area to be developed to create a new visitor attraction including shops, children’s play area, serviced apartments, restaurant/cafe, toilets, and other facilities.
The Architect’s concept plans can be accessed through the link that follows, also a questionaire to enable views of Gower residents to be transmitted to the Study Group.
The Community Council urges all residents who have a concern for the unique nature of Gower and of Port Eynon as a centuries old fishing village to complete the Questionnaire and transmit their views. Alternatively to transmit their views to the Community Council directly via this web site message form.
Swansea City Council have now appointed consultants to develop a concept design for a new beach/community centre building and seafront.
1.A steering group has been setup to include a cross section of Swansea City Councillors and relevant officers together with local community groups.
2.The Steering group design brief and study has been broken down into four component parts:-
Community , Tourism, Commercial, Travel and Transport.
3.The first Steering Group meeting in February concluded that two options should be considered
Option A; Retain existing Toilets Structure with extension for community and commercial activity. Potential for additional cafe at foreshore.
Option B; Development of a pedestrian street,improved beach access and facilities. Mixture of accommodation and commercial opportunities.
There is an additional, separately funded, proposal for a children’s adventure park and playground.
4.Consultation will be taking place in the wider community(subject to Covid19 restrictions) using online methods and possibly small group gatherings.
5.Plans showing proposals and options A,B and village hall relocation plans are shown on the attached Plans.
6. Having regard to the concept proposals outlined above, it is vitally important that the community consider the strengths,weaknesses,opportunities and threats of any scheme which will shape the future of Port Eynon for many years to come.
