I am sure that this car washing business would have been stopped ages ago if it was anywhere near as bad as the complainer seems to believe. Our planning department and council legal team as well as the police although no where near perfect are not stupid.
I strongly suspect that even if this business was to be closed nothing would be acceptable but a completely empty space.
Jan, why don’t you watch this video and remember the level of abuse I’ve had to endure in the last 2 years from the car wash operator, then tell me honestly if this was imposed on you right underneath your windows 7 days a week 10 hours a day by DDC & the car wash operator, you could live with this without distress, when you know that DDC has the power to stop this immediately, but refuses to do so. You are deliberately trying to portray me as a winging nimby (for whatever personal agenda you clearly have), when the truth is, if this was under
YOUR windows you would be as upset as we are.
As Nicky Barley said, there’s a lot of you on here that seem to be willing to support every failing of DDC, no matter what it does to the residents of Dover.
DDC’s lack of enforcement in this case is INTENTIONAL and MALICIOUS. Why don’t you ask your friends on DDC council and their planning officers why they refuse to enforce these planning conditions? And get it writing why they refuse to enforce them, because the breaches are unarguable, so it would be very interesting to hear their answers why they would not enforce their own planning conditions. Then publish their reasons on here for all to see. Maybe that would once and for all answer everyone’s questions.
You must always remember they set these planning conditions for a reason to safeguard the adjacent residents. When you set planning conditions to safeguard residents, then refuse to enforce them, it makes the whole point of creating conditions of planning pointless and the fake façade of safeguarding residential amenity a joke.
