    On the subject of the Charlton Centre which of course this thread is about!

    The site needs redeveloping but this will not happen until the Sainsbury's lease comes to an end. They are paying a rent of £250,000 per year to the landlord. This, in investment terms, means that the property is worth lots and lots of money, but in REAL terms means that because it is nowhere close to a market rent, the capital value at the end of the lease term means that whoever buys it would be committing a kamikaze act.

    The other problem is that the new owner is unrealistic about just about everything and has skilfully managed to attract tenants on very low rents which help to make things even more unsustainable. Then of course, they have a planning application for flats on the first floor which will be a disaster. It will create a ghetto of yet more nasty sub standard accommodation which Dover really does not need.

    There are of course some very good shops, but I am sure that they would welcome a more attractive frontage and more neighbours?
