West Pier Proposed Building 1

Formal plans for an £11m revamp of <a href="https://completelyretail.co.uk/shops-to-rent/scarborough">Scarborough's</a> historic West Pier are due to be submitted to councillors.



The proposals will look to bring a number of benefits to the town's fishing industry, businesses, residents, and visitors.



The plans for the West Pier include a new seafood restaurant and a new public space, which could be used for outdoor events and cultural activities. Also proposed are new kiosks, parking, vehicle and pedestrian management, improved offices, sheds and warehousing for the fishing sector, and new public toilets.



Scarborough was awarded £20.2m of funding in 2021, £5m of which will contribute to creating modern facilities on the pier for the harbour users with improvements for existing pier tenants and businesses, as well as restoration work of some of the historical buildings.



Prior to the application's submittal, North Yorkshire Council has launched a wide-ranging consultation with local stakeholders to ensure that a variety of views are heard.



This includes face-to-face consultations and online surveys to allow as many people as possible to provide their opinions.



Councillor Derek Bastiman, executive member for open to business, said: “The West Pier project is one of the key cornerstones of the regeneration of Scarborough.



“It will respect Scarborough’s heritage as a working harbour while also breathing new life into that area of the seafront for the benefit of the fishing industry."



Jack Wood, who runs local fishmongers Cod &amp; Lobster, said: “Currently, the West Pier is not fit for use and even the look of it just does not appeal and it is not attractive to getting people onto here, either as customers or to work.



“This scheme is our best chance of securing the West Pier’s future for everyone.”



Following consultation, the final planning application will be submitted later this year.
