Correct, my father in law works over at HMS Excellent (ex Sailor) and the
commanding officer (who is in control of Horsea Island) as well showed
them these drawings/plans last week.

It shows the ground going length ways north to south parrallel to the
motorway
2000 houses going along the north side of the lake along with berths

The Navy moving all buildings to the south east corner of the lake
complete with Helecopter pad.

motorway being added to the current Paulsgrove junction on M275 north
bound
and east bound, with another junction southbound on M275 coming from the
A27 westbound.

He was really excited by what he saw and he says because its MOD land they
can do what they want despite what the tree huggers/opposers say, so any
area of "scientific importantance" wont wash and wont hold up the
development. Like the training ground he says "it will happen" because
everyone is in agreement, MOD, Council, Club etc.

Got this second bit from Wiki!

In October 2007,Portsmouth F.C. announced plans to build a 36,000 seat football stadium on the south-east corner of Horsea Island, near to the M275 Motorway. The proposed new stadium at Horsea Island is planned for completion in 2011.However, the plan is beset with serious logistical problems, notably the paucity of access by road and rail. Moreover the site is less than 1 m above sea level, and sea levels are predicted by some to rise by up to 6 metres by 2100. Lastly, much of the proposed housing development, necessary to help fund the stadium, falls within the SSSI, and as such is most unlikely to be approved. A formal planning application has yet (May, 2008) to be submitted
