    Worst hit is Farthingloe, Howard. It would appear the entrance to the proposed new settlement would be from Folkestone Road, somewhere opposite Farthingloe Farm.
    Farthingloe would be lost to the Green Belt.

    On Western Heights, the project would hit Braddon mostly, with houses, flats, a retirement care home and retirement extra care flats going up.
    However, looking at the developers plan for Western Heights, there is a whole planned area which seems to be many times the size of Braddon, pact with roads and houses, and at present I can't figure out if it is neighbouring Farthingloe, or part of the W.H. plan.

    If it is the latter, it seems to be an area looking over the sea, right over the White Cliffs of Dover. It seems to be an area that would reap in huge sums of money to the developer, as the cost of these houses would go in the hundreds of thousands each.

    Clearly, the sea view is what the developer is offering, and will charge huge sums for the houses.

    It has dawned on me that the whole project on W. H. and Farthingloe, if built and sold, will fetch something between 300 and 400 million pounds, calculating 900 houses, and not counting the hotel and conference centre.

    My guess is, the area will assume the traffic conditions of a Barton Road or a Folkestone Road.

    So what green areas are left, will be heavily subject to intense traffic.
    This is a catastrophe in the making!
