Plans are underway for the second phase of Folkestone's ambitious seafront development.

Public and virtual consultations will be held about the next stage of the multi-million pound scheme destined for the coastline.

Work has already started on phase one - dubbed Shoreline -, where 84 new homes are currently being built on the shingle in front of the Leas Lift.

Of the new homes, there will be 60 flats and 24 town houses, all offering views over the English Channel.

Sir Roger de Haan's Folkestone Harbour & Seafront Development Company is behind the project, which will eventually line the entire beach all the way to the Harbour Arm.

Restaurants, shops and public spaces are proposed, as well as hundreds of new homes.

The site for phase two is known as Plot C1 and sits immediately to the east of the first phase.

A spokesman for the Folkestone Harbour & Seafront Development Company said: "It is an opportunity to bring new architecture, homes and commercial spaces to Marine Parade.

"New planting, shingle gardens and play areas around the site will enliven the boardwalk, with a new terrace for everyone to enjoy the sea views from."

The two public consultations on the plans will be held at Folkestone Harbour Station today (Friday), from 4pm to 8pm, and tomorrow (Saturday) from 10am to 3pm.

An online webinar will will place on Wednesday (July 28) from 6pm to 7pm. To watch, click here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tDif30BVTnqYoveHGTq77A
