Option 1a is where NPHC have their own breakwater on the back of the outside quay. It allows additional mooring on the inside and on both sides of the main quay. Note that the engineering consultants WSP Ltd are only engaged to look at construction options of the quays, breakwater and the land reclamation, not the buildings.

Three breakwater/quay options; WSP will be considering up to five. Some have joint
venture potential and options of additional maritime connected operations.

This is an artist’s impression of Sandy Cove to give a vision of Newlyn Harbour. The curved breakwater will reduce the impact of storm waves and tidal surges at the same time provide deepwater berths that will cater for much larger fish, sail and commercial vessels who ply their trade on the sea around Cornwall. Please note, as this is an artist’s impression the scale and dimensions are an indication of how the planned development may appear.
