We in Deal know how disruptive just adding shingle to our beach has been ... the threat to quarry shingle from Dungeness has come back...From our colleagues at 'Love Dungeness' www.lovedungeness.org
Hello there,
If you have previously sent an objection to Kent
County Council about EDF and the EA's plans to excavate shingle from
Dungeness then you should have received a letter from the Council about
a new Summary Document recently published by the applicants*. The applicants
claim that this document represents a “significant amendment” to their original
planning application, “building on feedback obtained from public meetings”…
Make no mistake—nothing has changed in
their plans whatsoever… Worse, the applicants have invented some new
(although bogus) excuses to justify their proposal—including claims that the
local fishermen will struggle to launch their boats if the EA and EDF Energy
aren't permitted to take shingle from Dungeness! (The fishermen have
confirmed that this claim is absurd.)
* In case you missed it, the Summary
Document is available to view online—just search for the application number
KCC/SH/0381/2011 on Kent County Council’s website at http://tinyurl.com/kentplanning
and click on the “Documents” tab. The new information has a filing date of 16
January 2013.

Please help us stop the quarry
It would help our campaign enormously if you
could send Kent County Council a message objecting to the information in the
Summary Document. You can do
so via our website (or you can email the Council at
planning.applications@kent.gov.uk). Feel free to use the email we’ve drafted to
Kent County Council below, regarding the applicants' new Summary Document.
Thanks again for your help protecting the
Dungeness Nature Reserve from the proposed shingle excavation works. Please
share this email with anyone you think may be interested (or alert them
to our campaign via our website).
