I also keep my eyes open and always looking at what other towns around us are doing,and I am logged into the Margate Trust.
As you know they are moving ahead with their development,but they also do get their holdups,and the big one at this time is Tesco want to build a new Super-store on top of the Muiti car park abuting to Dreamland Margates Amusement park site with listed Structures well the last new on this one is has gone back to their full council for a yes or no.Why have I told you this,because I know that the Margate Council will get over this in afew weeks and it will not hold up any Development of the site.
Now if that had been in Dover,the ways things are done at this time,it would have held that site up for years not weeks.

bit of a surprise it was referred to full council vic.
the main complaint seems to be about traffic disruption, if we took that as a reason nothing would ever be built.

The main reason it has gone back to council is because the recently up Grade 2* listed Scenic Railway next to it...
Margate is in as much dire straights as Dover, extremely run down, lots of crime, 'developers' just killing the down for a quick profit, more closed shops than Dover.
I foresee many years of fights going on before anything happens with Dreamland and surrounding area.....
Been nice knowing you :)
