1.1 Overview of the Proposed Development
1.1.1 This scoping report is produced on behalf of the Southampton City Council ’s (SCC) redevelopment plans of
Kemps Quay Marina (KQM) and Itchen Ferry boatyard in Southampton, England.
1.2 Purpose of Scoping Report
1.2.1 The report aims to scope and assess the environmental impacts associated with the redevelopment
proposal of the Marina, within the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process.
1.2.2 EIA is directed by the EU 85/337/EEC directive, amended by 2017 regulations, to assess the significant
environmental effects a public or private project will have on an area.
1.2.3 This scoping report will determine the possible impacts and alternatives of the Kemps Quay Marina and
Itchen Ferry Boatyard redevelopment proposal to be further used in the EIA process.
1.3 Development Site
1.3.1 KQM redevelopment is located on the southern coast of England, in Southampton, Hampshire.
1.3.2 The Marina has main access from Quayside Road with bus stops and routes located opposite the marina,
