17 December 2020 12:19366974Plans for what DHB propose for the ‘retail’ development on the new Marina Curve have been lodged with DDC Planning.
There appears to have been little or no public consultation involved.
Looks like there should be a renaming. How about ‘Container Curve’?

Uncalled for (in this case). The whole of the DWDR has shown that DHB are quite capable of buggering up things without any input from DDC, any 'partnership' between DHB and DDC being somewhat like the partnership between a dog and its tail, the only difference being that in the former case there is usually more than one ar$ehole between the two.Pablo likes this"The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it".

18 April 2021 15:42369769It is a big missed opportunity to have done something exciting, the use of a modular approach (shipping containers) can lead to some really interesting design choices especially when finished with a high quality cladding option. There are some great examples of what is possible out there including budget end hotel chains (Studio 6 in Alberta Canada, Holiday Inn Express EventCity in Manchester, Travelodge in Uxbridge) and mid price ones (Stow-Away Hotel near Waterloo Station) that do not look like a stack of containers and offer decent sized rooms. Sadly, as ever, we have been sold short by DHB, their contractors and DDC.Jan Higgins likes this"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean

18 April 2021 16:44369771I agree Ross, some shipping container conversions can look really good, the problem here is that I simply have little faith in what we will get going by what has happened in the past from either DHB, DDC or any other group who might be involved.
Some very clever conversions shown here.... https://www.google.com/search?q=shipping+container+conversions&sxsrf=ALeKk0037X_UnC-zg5zLeYF44kQQgsYewg:1618760193310&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiLvbHSj4jwAhWYSBUIHZHjDk8Q_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1920&bih=937Button likes this-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 18 April 2021 17:44369772What a wasted opportunity.This is a hasty project.The same when they rushed Dover’s answer to McCarthy Glenn .This was the time to upgrade Dover.I hope the Planning Committee see sense.Still as it’s partly DDC s involvement I doubt it.

No idea - I downloaded it from the DDC site that no longer wants to play ball with me!(Not my real name.) - 19 April 2021 20:50369780There is something going on here .Neil Wiggins would know about the problems .I think the information is being blocked.
