Dover District Site Allocations

The planning policy team published the Site Allocations Storymap on 9 April 2026.

This provides up to date information on all allocations in the district, including sites allocated for housing, employment, mixed-uses, heritage, and gypsy and traveller sites. It replaces the section of the Development Newsletter below, formerly dedicated to allocated sites.
