DWI Letter to DDC - No to Sholden development

Dear Dover District Council,

I am writing on behalf of all the members of our group to express our profound dismay over the plans for development of land in the Sholden area, as referred to above.

It is difficult to believe that any council would even consider developing prime agricultural land for housing when we are entering a period of uncertainty with regards to the changing climate and the arrival of peak oil. We will need all our agricultural land to feed our population during the coming years.

While questions have been raised about flooding, traffic congestion and the lack of new infrastructure, Dover District Council still continues to consider these plans.

Despite objections from many people, via petitions and public meetings, and the plans being turned down by Deal Town Council, Dover District Council still continues to consider them.

We can only hope that by persisting to object to these developments and illustrating all the drawbacks, notice will be taken and planning permission refused.

Yours sincerely,

Victoria Nicholls.
Secretary, Deal With It.

  1. Deal needs more new build housing for it's increasing population and I welcome the redevelopment of the Sholden area.

  2. I live in Sholden and I support the redevelopment of the sholden land. Whats the point of leaving it as it is when it could be of good use.
