The post you are reporting:
What must be clear, is that once DDC sign away Western Heights and Farthingloe, it is too late!
Ross already pointed out on the Forum last year that it is too late to stop the Whitfield development planning, because compensation would need be paid to the developers, as DDC have signed everything away.
DDC public consultation on Whitfield was to say: 6,000 houses or 6,000 houses, not one brick less. Personally I think that they did not abide to standing regulations on this matter, and among other things, DDC ignored my representation, which was made at the time within the legal time limit required by the Law.
Paul W.s justification for the Whitfield planning decision was that DDC are elected, and so already have public approval to plan whatever they want, when they want.
We must realise that if we do not protest now against development on Western Heights and Farthingloe, they will sign it away, and then there will be nothing we can do about it.
As already mentioned, the vast majority of people in Dover are unaware of these development plans, and do not realise what possibilities the Law allows us to prevent them coming into effect, providing we act in time.
Again, as Lorraine has mentioned previously, these areas are of national interest too, being a National Heritage, and so we have the possibility to gather support from all over the Country to block these development plans before it is too late.
Paul: a bank giving a loan does want to know how the money is to be spent, and I believe that anyone informing the Israeli bank, which also has an office in London, to put their case over and explain the facts to them, has a good chance of preventing the urbanisation of Western Heights and Farthingloe.
The bank's name is somewhere on this thread, I believe.
When the Whitfield project was still in the consultation phase, I had written to a local UKIP chairman to propose contacting the developers, but he ignored it, and waffled something...
I hope Lorraine and Lara realise that we are still in time to do many things to influence any decision by developers, and banks giving loans, to urbanise protected areas.
And we would be wrong to just shy away from doing it.
The more people send their opinion in to developers and banks giving loans for urbanisation of green areas, the more likely it is to make these institutions think carefully about what they are doing. Because they become unnerved. But it is essential that as many people as possible send in their opinions.
I have already written to the Israeli bank, but one person is only one person.
By remaining silent and waiting, we are handing over everything which is ours to enjoy, to developers.
