Torbay Council, working with its Regeneration Partners – Willmott Dixon and Milligan are working on proposals to develop plans for two major sites within Brixham.

Brixham Port Infrastructure Project

• This project will look to provide 2,550sqm of new space for the fishing industry.
• The expansion of the port would create around 40 new fishing related jobs.
• £9.791 million of government funding has been secured for the project.

Detailed proposals will be made public later in the spring with opportunities being available for the community to comment on the proposals as part of the statutory planning process.

Brixham Town Centre car park

The original multi-storey car park was constructed in the early 1960s, the car park suffered deterioration because of marine weathering, leading to significant corrosion of the steel frame. Despite several phases of structural repair, ongoing deterioration continued to occur resulting in the demolition of the car park in 2005.

Over recent years scheme proposals have been considered, including providing homes at the site.

Financially viable options are currently being explored for the site.

It is anticipated that options will be presented to the community later this year.
