As a mere local historian who fought through the legal process successfully, to ensure that the Western Heights would be protected against wanton development such as further housing, hotels and leisure facilities, I am bemused that every so often some company or other puts forward similar plans to 'develop' the site.
Of interest, they all spout the same argument - the Regeneration of Dover - as if a development that the main access and egress leads directly to Folkestone, Ashford and beyond can be of benefit to Dover.
I was heartened to read, this morning, that the Dover worthies, Derek Leach and Terry Sutton in their book: Our town, Dover 1945-2000 p11 that they are in agreement with me, Lara and others who oppose the latest proposal, when on page 11 they write:
'One scheme that never made progress, revealed in 1969, was the development of Western Heights with homes, hotel and leisure facilities. Fortunately, the plans were rejected!'
