The post you are reporting:
Paul Scotchie, I haven't estimated an average of £450.000 per house on a 900 unit calculation, but something between £270,000 and £360,000.
If the plan suggests now 700 houses, that could still be somewhere around £300 million in commercial value once sold.
On the plan of Western Heights that I have received at Braddon, there is something that needs explaining, I cannot figure it out at the moment. The location of the areas are not indicated, and the more this goes on, the less good it looks for you!
It looks like important areas of the Heights directly above the sea are included in the development plan.
The same goes for Farthingloe too.
When referring to the village of Braddon, I'm referring to the one that is there now and is populated.
As said, the areas of Farthingloe and Western Heights are being put up for speculation, the developer will reap in huge gains from the panorama if it goes ahead, and there do not seem to be that many people in Dover actually supporting this development plan.
Our aim is to get the word out, to do it now, and to make people aware what is being planned. The White Cliffs of Dover are up for sale, the Western part, and before long, we can assume, the Eastern part will also go to developers too.
DDC are planning to sell off our Heritage, Britain's Heritage, and there are hundreds of millions of pounds in the planned 700 houses alone, if they are built, not to mention the proposed hotel and conference centre.
This is the White Cliffs of Dover we are talking about, and on the plans, I cannot see any reference to sea views, which the CGI developers seem to have obscured from the plans they are distributing to the public at large.
Hence my words: the plans need explaining, the developers are hiding back the facts that the sea view is what they are aiming at to maximise their profits.
This Paul, has NOTHING to do with attracting tourism!
This was also one point made at the meeting, that tourism has nothing to do with it, but sheer hard-core speculation!
