The concept plan appears to prioritise land-based redevelopment without fully considering the long-term value of maritime infrastructure. Businesses like Scotline, which rely on deep-water access, cannot relocate easily and serve a national logistics function. We encourage the Council to engage with the wider maritime sector, including the British Ports Association, to ensure the national implications of decommissioning port infrastructure are fully understood and reflected in the plan
