    It strikes me reading this thread that both "sides" want to preserve and restore the fortifications on the heights, but have radically different views about how to go about raising the finance to achieve this.

    To date EH appear to have singularly failed to deliver on their promises with regard to the heights and nothing in their behaviour and actions says to me that they will improve in the future.

    The CGI proposals are just that, proposals, and there is no guarantee of long term funding being made available, however the section 106 monies associated with any successful application can be used on the WH exclusively whilst the 2 parts of the application are joined. If they are separated then this is not possible.

    I have like a number of you ploughed through the CGI planning documents and most certainly have reservations about the proposals for the Heights.

    Notwithstanding this we all need to start working together to find a positive long term solution that:
    a) secures a sound long term funding source for the preservation and restoration of the heights
    b) provides a way to sustainably deliver new housing in Dover that creates room for the housing needs of the current and future generations of local children and capacity for incomers
    c) designates areas for long term preservation as green spaces
    d) designates areas to be zoned for industrial and commercial use coupled with a clear strategy and plan to attract new business to the District
