The post you are reporting:
Paul, there hasn't been a discussion on this thread indicating anything WHPS has done wrong, but rather how to save the Heights.
If you believe WHPS have been dedicating themselves to preserve Western Heights but feel abandoned by English Heritage, whose work is dedicated to preserving and presenting England's Heritage, do you not see a contradiction?
English Heritage cannot be drawn into political discussions on how to attract massive sums of money into local shops by attracting families from London to live in rural designated areas such a Scheduled National Monument.
They cannot be drawn into the ambitions of some local DDC councillors who openly profess this aim and intention.
If you were to say to E.H. you had enough and might pack up, what do you imagine they would reply?
Would they not reply that they will continue to work with people who are willing to preserve the Heights?
There are plenty of people in Dover who wish to save the Heights, including Farthingloe, from urban settlements and speculation, and who are willing to to realise that there is work that needs doing on the Scheduled Ancient Monument that needs the guidance of expert workers with paid workers under their direction.
But perhaps, by giving the impression of being possibly in favour of the CGI proposals, such as Jeff is, even AFTER English Heritage have made public their representation to DDC Planning, in which they oppose the planning application, WHPS might be seen as challenging English Heritage.
They might consider some statements released by prominent WHPS members as being politically aligned to councillors following an agenda of migration to rural areas.
Surely English Heritage are aware of the DDC core strategy that aims to build 9,500 houses in the Dover area, mainly on farm and woodland, over the coming 25 years.
Certainly English Heritage cannot agree that Western Heights, a nature reserve partly owned by English Heritage, should be added to this core strategy, which, as Protect Kent have pointed out, is not even part of that core strategy.
Have you actually read the DDC core strategy, Paul?
Western Heights and Farthingloe are not mentioned in it, they have been added later in the DDC corporate plan 2012-2016, after some DDC members have had extensive talks with China Gateway International (also under their previous name of China Gateway), and all this indicates to a makeshift planning policy that DDC Planning are building up as they go along.
Are you defying English Heritage, Paul?
