    #1208 Fascinating - so DDC are going to make land available for a hotel , I note that in their submission, English Heritage say:

    'The applicant (CGI) points to the benefits of conserving and making accessible parts of the Drop Redoubt, and to the wider public benefits of employment creation and the predicted knock-on effects of the hotel. English Heritage is mindful of the acute need in the short term for job creation, and supports the hotel proposals in principle. The Council may consider that the employment promised by the applicant constitutes a substantial public benefit.
    However, since the development scheme would cause substantial harm to another part of the designated heritage asset such that English Heritage advises against the granting of planning permission, it would be inconsistent for English Heritage to accept the financial contribution it would yield. The putative benefits to the Drop Redoubt cannot, therefore, be weighed in the balance.'
