Reasons for the decision:

To progress future development of the Peninsula area, in terms of implementing the Harbour Business Plan and taking full advantage of the funding available under the LUF, a new Harbour Revision Order is required, to restrict the Open Port Duty. This will provide the harbour with the freedom to commercially develop the quayside of the Peninsula, and for the harbour to work with the levelling up programme to develop other opportunities which will improve the financial sustainability of the harbour in the long-term.
