A modern 22-floor residential tower in Portsmouth city centre; our Arundel Street development tackles the Portsmouth housing shortage head on. To be built by the council's wholly owned property development company Ravelin, on council-owned land; this slick, attractive block includes a balcony for every flat and a ground-floor commercial unit.

Our coastal defences do not offer a sufficient level of protection and are at the end of their serviceable life, leaving Southsea at risk from coastal flooding. Our aim is to create new defences that improve the seafront and stimulate regeneration, whilst protecting the community and preserving the area's unique heritage for future generations.

We are securing the long term future of the city centre through a programme of regeneration initiatives that will be nationally recognised as exemplary for innovation, inclusivity and environmental responsibility. The health and needs of residents, businesses and the communities within the city centre will be the heartbeat for regeneration.
