    You are essentially correct. Back in the mid-1980's DDC commissioned consultants to conduct a review and one of the suggestions they came up with was to build on a part of Pencester (just a small part, about 20% of the area) to create a proper centre for shopping combined with links to Biggin Street. They said that the long high street was the biggest problem causing the decline of shopping in Dover and this would be one way to reverse that decline. Needless to say there was a public uproar despite the fact that this was only a suggestion made to the Council. It seems the public prefer to keep the all gardens rather than to have a decent shopping centre.
