A major new country park
As part of our proposals, we would like to create a major new country park and additional environmental enhancements which, combined, would be equivalent to the size of over 300 football pitches (please note this number is indicative and based on current estimates), as shown on the plan below. This plan also shows how this proposed major new country park would interact with both existing and proposed public rights of way, as well as the National Park boundary.
We recognise the valuable nature of the Waterside area and National Park, and we are working to identify ways in which we can both preserve and enrich this area through our proposals, including the opportunity for new and improved cycle and walking routes connecting Marchwood and Hythe.
