Portland residents are invited to have their say on plans for the redevelopment of the Former Hardy Complex in Castletown, including the long-derelict Hardy Block. The site has been earmarked for residential use in the adopted Local Plan.

Before a planning application is submitted to Dorset Council, the project team is holding a public consultation to gather feedback from the local community. Residents and stakeholders can attend a public exhibition to view the proposals and speak directly with members of the design team.

The consultation will take place at:
Atlantic House, Leisure Suite, 1 Ayton Drive, Portland, DT5 1EF
 • Wednesday 18 March: 3pm – 7pm
 • Thursday 19 March: 3pm – 7pm

For those unable to attend in person, all consultation materials will be available online, with the opportunity to provide feedback via the project website: hardyblock-portland.co.uk (live from Wednesday 18 March).

Portland Town Council encourages all local residents to participate and share their views on the future of this key site in the community.
