A HUGE container terminal at Dibden Bay could be given the green light by the end of the year, the Daily Echo can reveal.
A national policy statement on the future of Britain’s ports is expected to be made by the Government in the next three months.
Planning experts say the document could call for major port expansion in the south.
If that proves to be the case, any new proposal for a massive dock development at Dibden Bay is almost certain to be approved.
Associated British Ports (ABP) wants to build a £600m terminal employing 3,000 people and able to accommodate the biggest ships afloat.
