  The way I have interpreted the two schemes are as below. I am sure if I am wrong someone will correct my assumptions.

  They will as Bob has on more than one occasion seek investment and this may be from overseas funding. This would mean the "Investor" will in fact have the ultimate control. From my own experience such investors seek to have their own appointed Board Members and there is no guarantee that what is being proposed would eventually be delivered ( Non Port Regeneration). The investor will be looking for "x"% return on capital.

  The "Peoples Trust" will be capitalised by a "Loan" from a City bank. This will be repaid over "X" years. Provided there is sufficient revenue generation to serve the debt after costs and to have a surplus there is no problem. The Trustees would in fact be the Management Team thus deciding what the surplus is invested in..With the correct balance on the Management Team would see capital used for regeneration. So in this case no direct overseas investment (The Trust would not be concerned where the Bank secures its funding). In simple terms if the repayments are met by the Trust there would be no control from the bank.
