  Not often that I defend Vic on here, but he does have a point on the T2 development. The 'proposed' hotel/apartment/retail developments shown at every exhibition and presentation (with artists impressions of how they could look) exist only as ideas. The proposals only state that the sites will be made available for another developer to "possibly" put in such facilities. Should this remind anyone of the DTIZ?
  
  Other possible problems with the design include the moving of the lifeboat station to inside the suggested ferry routes and behind the areas designated as 'yacht holding' (where they wait for a gap in the ferries to reach open sea). And, of course, there is the access roads. The proposed layout offers no relief for the blocked in residents of Aycliffe and would extend our problems with traffic to any proposed development of the Western Heights.
  
  However, it should also be considered that the proposed T2 is just that, a proposal. What DHB are doing is offering the port for sale "with planning permission" and any purchaser is almost certain to have their own ideas of how to proceed with any redevelopment.
