Brighton Marina Future

A sustainable development is achieved through ensuring a better quality of life for all, now and for generations to come. Throughout the design process, the team has worked to ensure environmental, economic and social sustainability.

An environmentally sustainable development, with a 100% EcoHomes 'Excellent' rating - placing the scheme in the country's top 2%
40% reduction in CO2 emissions
Wind, wave and solar power, plus Combined Heat and Power (CHP) to produce 20% renewable energy
25% reduction in domestic water usage
105 permanent new jobs plus hundreds of construction jobs
Public transport improvements

The development protects the marine biodiversity and create new land-based habitats.

A platform will be constructed above the vacant space within the harbour entrance to create the area for development. Employment opportunities will be created during construction and once completed, in the new restaurants and cafes.

The buildings will achieve a high level of natural light, acoustic insulation and energy efficiency, with recycling facilities provided on site. A Sustainable Travel Plan has been produced, with emphasis being placed on cycling, walking, enhanced public transport and the expansion of the city-wide Car Club.
