Following the short hiatus caused by COVID 19, work is progressing well on developing the first phase of apartments and houses on Folkestone Seafront. The contractors introduced secure working practices to ensure the safety of their staff and were able to retrieve nearly all of the time lost by the temporary suspension of work on the site.

Whilst many businesses were required to close following government guidance to lock-down in response to COVID19, the construction industry was actively encouraged to continue operating, providing contractors could comply with social distancing measures and ensure safe working for their employees. Initially some of the advice was unclear and therefore measures proved to be difficult to implement on many construction sites. There were also critical interruptions to the supply of materials and self-isolation by subcontractors reduced the size of available workforces. Jenner Contractors took a duty of care decision to suspend work on the Folkestone Seafront site until these issues could be resolved.

SEPTEMBER 2018 – PUBLIC EXHIBITION

In September 2018 the Folkestone Harbour and Seafront Development Company held a public exhibition on proposals for the first phase of the redevelopment of Folkestone seafront. We invited people to join us at the exhibition to show how our plans are developing.

In 2015 we were granted outline planning consent for a mixed use development, including new homes, cafes and restaurants, as well as extensive recreational space. In April 2018 a series of amendments to this planning consent (based on the masterplan) were also approved.

The exhibition was a chance to see our plans and hear about how the seafront is changing, meet the team and get your questions answered. If you were unable to come to the exhibition but would like to find out more, you can download a copy of the boards presented here.
