Tipner West Regeneration Project

In March 2025 it was reported that Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner had withdrawn Government funding for the development at Tipner West, effectively bringing to a close a long-running dispute between local planners and environmental groups.

Subsequently, in May 2025, PCC wrote to Angela Rayner seeking a review of the decision. In August 2025 Angela Rayner again called a halt to the project stating that the benefits do not outweigh the environmental harms. Report in The News.

The Tipner West & Horsea Island East Regeneration (formerly the Lennox Point Project) underwent substantial revision since the City Council called for a pause to re-consider in the Autumn of 2022. RAPS Committee members met on July 19th 2024 with Tim Raw and Molly Penney of the PCC Engagement Team to answer questions from RAPS members about the Project and to establish a forum for regular updates and consultation. A follow-up meeting with the RAPS Committee for Tuesday 26th November 2024 was cancelled.

Here, albeit superseded by the subsequent decision to withdraw Government funding is a report on the meeting held 19th July 2024:
