a cycle lane. East of the lagoon, a new 2 km2 outer harbour development would also be created providing ease of access by shipping into the docks, and a completely new dock area, which would be protected from the tides and waves. The outer harbour development already has development consent and involves the use of 84 ha of land. In 2019, the project was costed at £1.5 billion.
