  Wish to thank Paul Scotchie for his straight forward reply: Local Planning Authority = DDC, and somehow DDC as a Council (not separate from LPA) are the people who process planning applications.
  
  Wish to thank Paul and Roger for the clarification that further developments for buildings on W.H. and at Farthingloe are not at all excluded.
  
  I have nothing against a kind of visitor centre at the Grand Shaft, do not oppose maintaining the former military infrastructure within acceptable limits of expense, nor oppose the maintaining of the green (grass/bushes/trees) to preserve the natural aspect of the area.
  
  I am in favour of keeping the protected status of W.H. and Farthingloe and oppose building houses, hotel or conference centre B/B on any these sites.
  
  SP Policies RS5 and S1 and LP Policies HS1 and TR1 are not respected in the proposal presented by CGI, as the proposed buildings would generate travel and journeys that would be car borne, unlikely to be on foot or by bicycle.
  The shops are far away, mainly located in the town centres of Dover and Folkestone.
  
  LP Policy HE5 provides that development which would adversely affect scheduled Ancient Monuments and nationally important archaeological sites or their settings will not normally be permitted.
  
  In the proposals presented by CGI we have a combination of factors that clearly contravene against the Policies mentioned above, including the increase of traffic that would be generated between the two sites and the town centres, and the negative effect this would have on the protected areas as a whole, on their protected status and on the peaceful enjoyment of these areas by the public.
