I would like my grandchildren to enjoy and use the prominade as much as my daughter and I do. |

The area proposed for development belongs to the residents,tourists & citizens of SAfrica NOT the Metro or Government to dispose of. The beachfront area is a buffer zone for us to deal with Global warming/flooding.The enviromental,road traffic and service infrastructure studies will confirm that the area is not capable of supporting such development. The Metro will be sued by residents for the devaluation of their properties. My reasons are based on sound town planning principles & could fill an entire book as to why this type of development is a no no. |

The promenade is somewhere where I enjoy walking my dog and taking my child to. The sea view is relaxing and calming and this spot is one of the few open spaces left in Cape Town. Please don't let it get taken over by a shopping centre and hotel. There are already plenty of those and once an open public space is gone, you can't get it back. |

The Sea Point promenade is a beautiful, safe and much enjoyed space - there are not many such spaces left in the world never mind South Africa and I believe this community area should be preserved in its current form. |

Its not right that a few people holding important positions gain money and influence for selling something that in short, does not belong to them alone. |

Sea Point Pavilion and Promenade should be kept for all (and all of it) as a gem to share for all and not a privileged few. Access to it is part of the people of Cape Town's heritage and should be preserved as such. |

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot SPOT
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don't know what you’ve got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot..."

The promenade is akin to other similar world-renowned locations such as as the Copacabana beachfront - an open area in a city where the ocean vista can be enjoyed by ALL. |

Do not take away one of Cape Town's wonderful nature walking spots! Let's not convert the entire country into a mall - do you want Cape Town to become like Joburg? |

The Sea Point promenade is a very special place for many young families as you can have your children have fun in the park, cool off in the water and generally just enjoy the outdoor life safely and in a very beautiful environment. |

Building on the prominade will take away the aesthetic and natural beauty which is the main reason why we all love sea point and live there. Sea point does not belong to the mayor, or to property developers- it belongs to everyone who lives there and enjoys all it has to offers and this includes the very public place; the prominade |

One of the things that makes Cape Town great is its public spaces. Is taking away an area of land where people can really mix what this city and country needs? |

This pristine part of Cape Town has been a part of my and my families life for over 30 years. That beautiful stretch of Beach Road could never be the same and many 1000's of people who get their daily pleasure from the promenade would lose something so very important. |

We do not need a shopping centre or hotel on our coastline. Build it in Bellville or Ottery if you must. This is one of the only safe recreational areas left for the elderly and less active in our city. Rather maintain the promenade properly. Developers stop spoiling our beautiful city to make a fast buck! |

Cape Town without the Sea Point promenade is unimaginable. It's unique and irreplaceable. Go build somewhere else. There are plenty of other areas in Cape Town where urban regeneration and new development are sorely needed. |

In Spain the rush to overdevelop the sea front led to concrete chaos. This last year the government has actually tried to reverse the damage by banning seafront development and making it retroactive so previous developments are being forcibly purchased for demolition. Let's not get into that kind of mess. The seafront is what makes Cape Town. Greed can kill that. |

I can always remeber watching the sea and the peole at the pool, diving off the highboard, I could not wait to go and join them, but alas at four I was told no diving boards. So lets keep this alive and so no to Mall's and Condo's and keep the cape beautiful. |

I have always told people I have met that the one thing about ZA beaches is the accessablity for everuon, not like in the USA where home owners own the beach as well and block piblic access.
there for it pains me greatly to hear that this is now about to happen in Sea Point. I protest and sign against this happening. |

i believe in growth and progression and think that there should be some development. Some one story cafes, book shops etc would be a great asset to sea point. however public access is key and the public should always have access to walk along the sea front. going any higher than 1 floor is an appalling idea. |

Thank you. |
