  Let's get this right, they [developers]will not come forward with the scheme unless they have retailers, etc. have signed up.
  
  It works in reverse, you need to know where the market is & then design it around the market & their requirements.
  
  If you were in towns with prosperous catchment areas & large pockets that would happen pretty smartiest, that is not the case for Dover at present BUT the amount of investor interest[& acquisitions] is accumulating at a pace.
  
  We need a couple of decisions.
  
  Firstly the government's judgement on the future of the Port of Dover,next is election uncertainty & sterilisation of process during a run up to elections.
  
  Investors get jittery, they need certainty.
  
  Get past these events & the mist will clear one way or the other.
  
  Locally we have Strategic Planning Policies in place that allow for growth & expansion on all fronts.
  
  Other than Ashford , Dover has the plannning edge & certainty to move forward.
  
  We just wait for the government & the public.
