Backed by local developer Paigle Properties, it includes sea-front leisure space arranged around a listed rollercoaster ride, a retail boulevard lined with palm trees, a 250-bed hotel and 1,800 new homes.
Practice partner Jonathan Collins said: “It represents a shift in attitudes to the British summer holiday.” Supporters say the project would provide a needed boost for the town.
So, a retail boulevard, a 250-bed hotel and 1800 new homes - I am amazed that apparantly there is room for even just the scenic on a development of that scale.
I love the "Supporters" (i.e. Paigle Properties) - almost like the "reliable source or "close friend" - the writer always has a job at The Sun if the plans don't come off.
There is absolutely no way that Paigle will purchase Dreamland - if a reasonable sized amount of area has to be retained as a theme park, then Paigle will not do it, no question.
