David,
Most councils are packed with the petit bourgeois many of whom are the first in their family to have attended university.
DDC is packed with the petty bourgeois many of whom are the first in their family not to have been born with prehensile tails."We are living in very strange times, and they are likely to get a lot stranger before we bottom out"

Don't get me wrong, literacy isn't as important as integrity when it comes to making a decision. I can think of several councillors who are very intelligent and combine that with a strong work ethic and set of values.
I can also name several empty vessels that are as thick as mince that are a detriment to progress. - PatrickS

Dr. Hunter S Thompson - 13 December 2016 17:11322043Ahhh the annual festive spin. That press release is very similiar to the one DDC issued Christmas 2009. I remember someone posting a few years ago that DTIZ should just be grassed over to attract more visitors (I quite like the look of that open air cinema).Jack of Hearts
- 13 December 2016 17:20322044Cynicism aside, there is some encouraging news in there.

Take heart, Jack - "It's a Wonderful Life' is showing at the Astor this ChristmasGuest 1266 likes this - 13 December 2016 17:49322049It's great to have a more timely communication than the normal reactive news stories.
At least we know whats happening over Christmas and that a main contractor still hasn't been appointed.
Such a shame though that the structural steelwork has been fabricated so far away, Northern Ireland. - Brian Dixon

I think my favourite word leading into the New Year must be cynical when dealing with any group that is paid for by us the tax payers. They have such a gift at not telling the whole truth only giving us the part they think we might be happy with to keep us quiet.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Where does this information come from? - 30 December 2016 11:28322861Unless I am missing something there seems to be no amendment to condition 1.
https://planning.dover.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=DCAPR_230891 - 30 December 2016 13:06322863It is here Howard - Schedule of Changes to conditions - https://planning.dover.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=DCAPR_230891
and here is the schedule
https://planning.dover.gov.uk/online-applications/files/6040134873F969DD4AD72E7CF71E5CD2/pdf/16_01373-SCHEDULE_OF_CHANGES_TO_CONDITIONS-742016.pdf
not immediately obvious because there is no specific application change for condition 1 listed outside of the schedule of changes
