Reckless developers attempting to bulldoze over Britain's remaining Green Belt to accommodate EU and Labour mass immigration policies may have hit a hard wall.
"Nearly seven in 10 mortgage brokers support the UK Independence Party, according to a poll conducted by Mortgage Strategy last week."
"UKIP is well known for its desire to take the UK out of Europe and to reduce demand for housing by "ending EU open-door immigration". In its 2013 manifesto, it says it wants to reuse the UK's empty homes, protect the Green Belt and remove developers' right to appeal against local planning decisions. It is opposed to the Government's so-called bedroom tax."

As can be seen in the link, between 2010 and 2013 - in just 3 years - UKIP has passed from 0 to 66% support among mortgage brokers, who are certainly competent people when it comes to assessing the housing market.
Hopefully DDC will reassess the core strategy, which is really from another planet.

But, Keith, I have participated in public consultations on Dover's future.
Isn't that giving support to Dover?

yet keep saying how wonderful they are

Keith, the post is about the majority of mortgage brokers supporting UKIP on account of their defence of the Green Belt, their resistance against reckless house-building all over the countryside, and their idea to use existing homes in the UK for accommodation purposes rather than new ones springing up like mushrooms until the last farm is extinct and the last wood is uprooted.
Also because of their idea to disallow developers to appeal a planning refusal.

Brian, if people do not take part in public consultations that concern them, then is this not throwing away Democracy?
It's an insult to those who fought for our Country!

Keith, this is about using existing empty houses in Britain and not sacrificing the Green Belt to mushroom development.
This is a standing part of my public consultations to DDC regards Dover.
If UKIP wish to join me in these efforts of challenging the DDC core strategy, they may.
So far I have not seen UKIP making public consultations on these issues in Dover.
And yet, Keith, you keep trying to come over as if I did not already exist as an individual entity capable of participating in local matters..

alex,its all a con.you go to the meeting have your say,so far so good.but its all a waste of time because the decision has already been made months before.

No, Brian.
Written representations in a public consultation at DDC may be approved and a copy is then sent by DDC to the Secretary of State.
I wrote a representation on the DDC core strategy and it has been approved by the Planning Department and a copy sent on to London.
By participating in our democratic institutions we can achieve success.
Fatalistic denials in this sense only serve to discourage people from taking part in Democracy.
I am never discouraged in my dedication to our future in Dover, hence I don't give in.

You need to be in it to take part.
In a very small way I am,but I do not talk about parish council work or any roll I do in them.Only to say I still like taking part.

Not so, Brian.
If a representation made during a public consultation is accepted as relevant by a Government authority (local or central), namely the authority which initiated the public consultation, then it also becomes public domain.
The fact that it is considered relevant by officers working in a Department or a Council means it has a legal basis within laws, rules and regulations.
In the case of the DDC core strategy, which is related to post 1 and the topic of this thread, namely development and housing strategy, my representation stands a chance of achieving its aim, which is a review of the DDC core strategy on the grounds that the building of over 10,000 homes in and around Dover would endanger the environment owing to significant increase in pollution from traffic.
My rep. also takes into account the existing port traffic and the plans for a new T2 with projected increase in port traffic in the future.
If it was a con, DDC would not have accepted the representation, nor anyone else's representation in any public consultation for that matter.
By being in denial of all this, Brian, people only exclude themselves from participation in public matters that concern the Community, and discourage others from taking part in our common future.

This post is getting a little like another poster, who likes to talk about himself,
Anyway to move away from the thread for a moment,
I firmly believe in taking part in consultation whether or not you are taken notice of, just the same as if Alexander has passion for UKIP he should have voted for them(thread heading)
With regard to the 10,000 homes, my understanding is a lot of consultation has taken place, and decisions made, DDC may well have noted your comments Alexander, just like 100's of others, but whether or not they take any further action is another matter
