More on this one but I would have thought that DHB would have all the sand and gravel they need by the time they are allowed to dredge there.

It's becoming farcical. No wonder Waggott (Goldfinger's Golden Boy) decided to throw in the towel with this following on from his abrasive management style. Quite why he had to make such a cause celebre out of this issue is beyond me. All that money spent on threatening full page adverts....

See #476. £5 million wasted due to the usual lovey Luddites. Perhaps if most of them had a proper job they would have a greater understanding of the real world.
Presumably they (and it's always the same names) can now get back to objecting to the badger cull, HS2, live animal exports, Brexit etc.
As I said in my previous post - tossers.

I've long forgotten what post 476 might have said and I care even less now. Welcome back.

Totally agree with Bob. They don’t do scientific, environmental or heritage evidence produced just direction of wind analysis without evaluation. Dover is the loser. Bad move by Port to take them on. Should have left them wither. As a Deal born resident & living most of my life in Deal -apart from a character informing enjoyable period in Dover- I know Deal & the Goodwins Sands issues.

I think post 592 is a bit flawed, or advocates what would be a dangerous precedent:
Hi, I don't like your plans although I don't do scientific, environmental or heritage.
OK, we'll go for a more costly option then - wither away, you sucker!
Ta very much. Actually we call it winning - so who's the sucker now!

#592 - I'm so glad you're period in Dover was character informing. It doesn't really show from your post.

#593. Not sure you are apart on this. My comments relate to decisions that are evidence based .

Sadly it will go on.. You mess with mother Nature..in this case the Goodwin Sands it will bite you back. For example before Samphire Hoe there used to be a steep beach called Shakespeare Beach. This beach was quite high and protected the railway sea wall. After Samphire Hoe was created from the channel tunnel waste Shakespeare Beach was slowly lost until one fatal day of a storm the a eroded the foundations of the sea wall... The moral of the story is do not mess with the sea it will bite you back.

Who is suggesting a "space port", whatever that means. Please provide a link. Or is this just a deflection?

This will never happen Paul, the cricket fraternity would not allow it.

Not exactly a new idea - I recall the airport scheme that was criticised for being over-reliant on train links.
