Dover Town Investment Zone – Planning Applications
Submitted
Following the recent signing of legal agreements, planning
applications have been submitted today (Monday 28 November) by Bond
City for the major multi million pound redevelopment of the St
James’ area of Dover.
The applications have been submitted by the Council’s
development partners Bond City following recent consultation with
the public. The proposals would provide a total of 120,000 sq ft of
retail floor space within the area known as the Dover Town
Investment Zone (DTIZ), and a new hotel and restaurants on the
corner of Woolcomber Street and Townwall Street. These replace
previous plans for a scheme anchored by an Asda superstore with new
plans for a range of mostly smaller shops, restaurants and a 100
bed hotel around a central square of landscaped parking, with 445
parking spaces.
Cllr Paul Watkins, Leader of Dover District Council said:
“Following the recent signing of the Development Agreements, we
welcome the early submission of these planning applications. They
will of course be considered through the Council’s normal planning
procedures. This is another very significant step forward for this
major redevelopment.”
