True when I was on the council plans were made up to turn that into a very good field but after they got rid of myself the plans were drop.

I read that some beach huts were put up in Walmer and local residents were up in arms about it Roger.
I don't know about the legality issue but I believe they are coming down.

I know that DDC put in a planning application for around 20 beach huts in Walmer; whether these are the same ones Jack is talking about, but I do know that Roger Walton would not/could not, do anything illegal - ever.

The complaints seem to be along the lines of there being too many of them so 9 are being removed.

I can see why there has been uproar, they look very cluttered in the that photo.
Normally beach huts are placed so as not to obstruct views, the ones in Folkestone going towards Sandgate are ideal in my view.

The 521 houses at Farthingloe are also going on a brownfield site.

So is the bit next to the Roman painted house but you wouldn't put a housing estate there either, that said DDC would!

The only way to get what is needed up there is some housing or it will be left to die. The place needs cash and lots of it .

Going by memory there will be 80 housing units going up on the Heights, some of them in what is now a dilapidated building.
521 units at Farthingloe with the lure of 5 million quid to be spent on the Drop redoubt, possibly drip fed as housing is sold.
I see it as a win win situation.

Win win? The loss of an important historic landscape,
Centuries of history for one of the most important ports in the world.
Surely better to preserve for a later date until funds can be procured to do
It justice.
