Heritage Strategy

The Heritage Strategy seeks to identify and understand the many heritage assets in Dover District and how their special character could contribute to the regeneration and place-making objectives in the Core Strategy.  Relevant conclusions and recommendations from the Heritage Strategy may then be incorporated into the next version of the Council’s Land Allocations Document.  The Strategy will also provide advice and guidance for the management of historic assets and provide an evidence base for any funding bid opportunities that may arise in the future.

The Council, in collaboration with English Heritage, has commissioned Kent County Council’s Heritage Conservation Team to prepare the Strategy.  It is believed to be the first such Strategy in the Country.  The Strategy has now reached an early draft stage and the chapters are listed below (remainder to follow shortly).
