Casino
Four-star hotel

30,000 sq ft of offices
Restaurant and catering units
1,000 homes
320,000sq ft of retail space and parking
3,000 car parking spaces for the stadium
park and ride scheme
They are also looking at a new access to the M275 and improved public transport, with potential for a new bridge to Tipner.
And it would also see the Royal Navy Diving Centre on Horsea Island being given a complete overhaul.
The statement said the stadium development would create a 'world class architectural landscape at the gateway to Portsmouth'.
It added: 'This exciting intervention will also develop a dramatic new access to an area of the city which has historically been isolated.'
However, the statement also says that the new stadium plan would be separated in to two phases.
The first phase would see the club submitting planning applications for retail and housing development at the current stadium site in Fratton.
The funds generated by this would then pay for the development at Horsea Island.
