Planning Application: Cumberland Service Station

A planning application has been made to convert the Cumberland Service Station on Eastney Road into a convenience store.

This would involve extending the current building to enclose virtually all of the area currently covered by the canopy. The current proposals include:

• 279m2 retail shop
• 10 customer parking spaces (+2 staff spaces)
• No delivery yard – lorries delivering to the shop would stop on Eastney Road.

Over the next week I will be visiting homes around the Eastney Road area to talk to people about the proposals and see if there are any specific concerns which I can pass on to the council.

Formal representations on the plans can also be made to Portsmouth City Council by email to:

or by writing to:
