The Agent's tale

Article Abstract:

The city of Canterbury, Kent, is a popular tourist destination as well as a successful shopping centre. However, such popularity causes serious environmental problems, particularly traffic congestion and the damage to ancient buildings caused by exhaust gases. The local planning strategy is to restrict commercial growth in order to minimise traffic around the city centre and there are few new offices being built. Demand for retail space in the city is high and industrial areas are being redeveloped to widen the retail base.

There are many factors to take into account when planning a marina development in the UK. It is vital that a marina is designed to be an integral part of its location, thus attracting users and generating income. For this reason, latest marina developments include features such as restaurants, hotels and cinemas. Local authorities are now becoming aware that a successful marina requires between 400 and 450 berths.
