The post you are reporting:
I have learned more from a few posts from Lorraine than 20,000 posts from others on this topic.
Paul and Peter, in the days when the Danes were built to a housing estate, and indeed when Dover Castle was built, those areas were not designated as protected under Heritage laws!
Since then, Heritage and Green Area laws have been introduced, and it seems quite clear to me now, the way you are both presenting your point, that the Law on preservation areas and development areas mean absolutely nothing!
Your arguments are something like saying: 200 years ago there were no pensions for people when they retire, so why have pensions now?
I mean: before the 17th century, there was no law in England or anywhere in Britain obliging carts and horses to travel to the left of a carriage way.
In 16something, Parliament made the law requiring traffic regulation, as roads in London were becoming congested through hap-hazard traffic.
Why not say: once upon a time there was no traffic regulation, so why not abolish it now?
Contrary to when Dover Castle was built, we DO have laws and regulations on protected areas, otherwise speculating developers would have cemented up every green park in Kent.
I have come to the conclusion that whatever Lorraine and Lara decide on this topic, is worthy to be made clear to the general public, when they see fit.
The Forum has certainly provided insight, but this issue needs to get out to the general Dover public, who is largely unaware of what is brewing up in planning schemes on Farthingloe Farm and the Western Heights.
Although I've got some work contracts over the coming months, I will definitely find time to deliver the message from letter box to letter box should this be Lara and Lorraine's decision.
